What VSS patches did you install?

What exactly are the errors? I will say that we use Flashbackup on Windows extensively and exclusively with VSS, and have had to install several VSS patches- especially on clustered systems. When it's patched and properly configured, it works like a champ. We can't survive without it.

I've noticed that on 4 of the 6 servers I see ntfs errors in the event logs right when the backup starts. If I force the policy to use VSP as opposed to VSS then the issue goes away, however using VSP creates snapshot errors so I'd rather use VSS.
