We're backing up a number of SQL 2008 r2 databases with DPM2010. In the same protection group, we're backing some user folders and the system state. This protection group has been working well for a number or months.
The group is now throwing the following error:
Triggering synchronization on ServerName\SQL_DB failed:
Error 30111: The VSS application writer or the VSS provider is in a bad state. Either it was already in a bad state or it entered a bad state during the current operation.
Error details: VssError:The specified object was not found.
(0x80042308)
Recommended action: Please check that the Event Service, the VSS service and the shadow copy provider service is running, and check for errors associated with these services in the Application Event Log on the server fnd-vs04.ad.wsu.edu. Please allow 10 minutes
for VSS to repair itself and then retry the operation.

This error is the same for all DB's. The folders and system state are backing up normally.
All of the services that are recommended to check are active. VSS is in a stable state. DPM is backing up non-SQL data on the same server and the same protection group. SCCM is one of the DB's and it's working just fine. A test version of SP2010 has it's DB's on this server and is working normally. The only thing that appears to not be working is the SQL Backups. SQL backups on other servers in a different protection group are backing up normally via DPM.
Any suggestions on how to get our SQL backups running again?
