Hi,

Is that the only file with problems lately?
If the VSS is working fine and all conditions to back up open files are met, it is interesting to know what application uses that file and if there is any special restriction regarding that file type.

Hi,

Please open the Event Viewer from Windows. Do you see any errors/warnings regarding VSS during the backup time?
It seems there is a problem with the Volume Shadow Copy on your computer.

Hi,

1. Does this problem appears only when running scheduled overnight but not when manually running the backup?
2. Do you use the same user account to schedule the backup as the one used to run it manually?
3. Do yo have the same problem if you schedule the execution to be performed during the day when you are in front of the computer?
