Here is the event error:
The backup operation that started at '2013-05-11T05:20:25.793000000Z' has failed because the Volume Shadow Copy Service operation to create a shadow copy of the volumes being backed up failed with following error code '2155348249'. Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.
Things I have looked at:
I gave a drive letter to "System Reserved" Partition as F:
System Reserved partition is 100% full but I can not see why.
F:\>dir /aVolume in drive F is System Reserved
Volume Serial Number is A87F-7A18

WSb Sceduled backup:
I deleted the scheduled back which was working for awhile and then recreated it the scheduled backup:
The backup fails with the error that there is not enough disk space.
During the recreation of the scheduled backup the process reformatted my drive L:
Drive L shows empty with 930GB in size and 11Mb in use.
The full backup estimate is 327GB.
I tried running the backup from the elevated PS:
PS F:\> wbadmin start backup -systemstate -backuptarget:Hwbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool
(C) Copyright 2004 Microsoft Corp.
Retrieving volume information...
This will back up volume System Reserved(F:) (Selected Files),Data(E:) (Selected Files),Local Disk(C:) (Selected Files)
to l.
Do you want to start the backup operation?
