SSR: ERROR EBAB03F1: Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed" occurs when attempting to create or select a backup destination or edit an existing job

This behavior is by Windows design and occurs at the operating system level. Edit the job properties to use the IP address of the network share or storage location instead of the machine name.  As an alternate work-around, create a new DNS (Domain Names System) alias and attempt to connect with new credentials. If the account credentials for the storage destination have been recently modified, perform the steps below to clear default backup destination information: 1. Click "Start" and select "Run".  Start the Services Snap-in by entering "Services.msc".  Stop the Symantec System Recovery Service. 2. Click "Start" and select "Run".  Start the registry editor by typing "regedit". 3. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Symantec -> Symantec System Recovery 4. Delete the "DefaultImagePath" value. 5. Click "Start" and select "Run".  Start the Services Snap-in by entering "Services.msc".  Start the Symantec System Recovery Service.Restart the Symantec System Recovery Service. 6.  Launch Symantec System Recovery. 7.  Select Tasks -> Options from the top drop-down menu. 8.  Under "Settings -> General" ensure that the Network Credentials are correct. 9.  Check Network Credentials for the backup job to ensure they match currently configured account credentials.

How to Manually Restart all VSS Writers when in a Failed State without rebooting.

There are instances when snapshots are failing due to an agent’s VSS writers being in a failed state but it is impossible or not desirable to restart the server until at least after business hours 

This Script could help during business hours.

net stop “System Event Notification Service” net stop “Background Intelligent Transfer Service” net stop “COM+ Event System” net stop “Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider” net stop “Volume Shadow Copy” cd /d %windir%\system32 net stop vss net stop swprv regsvr32 /s ATL.DLL regsvr32 /s comsvcs.DLL regsvr32 /s credui.DLL regsvr32 /s CRYPTNET.DLL regsvr32 /s CRYPTUI.DLL regsvr32 /s dhcpqec.DLL regsvr32 /s dssenh.DLL regsvr32 /s eapqec.DLL regsvr32 /s esscli.DLL regsvr32 /s FastProx.DLL regsvr32 /s FirewallAPI.DLL regsvr32 /s kmsvc.DLL regsvr32 /s lsmproxy.DLL regsvr32 /s MSCTF.DLL regsvr32 /s msi.DLL regsvr32 /s msxml3.DLL regsvr32 /s ncprov.DLL regsvr32 /s ole32.DLL regsvr32 /s OLEACC.DLL regsvr32 /s OLEAUT32.DLL regsvr32 /s PROPSYS.DLL regsvr32 /s QAgent.DLL regsvr32 /s qagentrt.DLL regsvr32 /s QUtil.DLL regsvr32 /s raschap.DLL regsvr32 /s RASQEC.DLL regsvr32 /s rastls.DLL regsvr32 /s repdrvfs.DLL regsvr32 /s RPCRT4.DLL regsvr32 /s rsaenh.DLL regsvr32 /s SHELL32.DLL regsvr32 /s shsvcs.DLL regsvr32 /s /i swprv.DLL regsvr32 /s tschannel.DLL regsvr32 /s USERENV.DLL regsvr32 /s vss_ps.DLL regsvr32 /s wbemcons.DLL regsvr32 /s wbemcore.DLL regsvr32 /s wbemess.DLL regsvr32 /s wbemsvc.DLL regsvr32 /s WINHTTP.DLL regsvr32 /s WINTRUST.DLL regsvr32 /s wmiprvsd.DLL regsvr32 /s wmisvc.DLL regsvr32 /s wmiutils.DLL regsvr32 /s wuaueng.DLL sfc /SCANFILE=%windir%\system32\catsrv.DLL sfc /SCANFILE=%windir%\system32\catsrvut.DLL sfc /SCANFILE=%windir%\system32\CLBCatQ.DLL net start “COM+ Event System”

Run the script and then kick off your backup. Reboot may still be necessary.
