I have a Server 2016 Essentials box with and RDX drive and a NAS box target.
Constantly getting the below and failing to backup.
Any ideas?

Re: VSS errors
Hello,
yes: in general, there is are forum rules to not post errors without referencing to a case number
second: there are several KB articles that deal with VSS issues. Just run the VSS commands manually and fix the errors before running Veeam backups. Veeam relies on working VSS.
I would start with this one https://www.veeam.com/kb1980
Best regards,
Hannes
