Errors in Windows Application event log

Hi...

Environment:
Windows Server 2008 R2 standard, service pack 1, standalone (no domain)
Cobian Backup Gravity (service mode)
CB Service is running as local system

Two backup tasks, both from one folder on local disk to another folder on local disk.
Trigerred by schedule every night, incremental mode, 2 full copies to keep...

Tasks are executed properly, backup is done as expected, but...

Every time any of this two tasks is trigerred by schedule I get following 4 errors in win Application event log.
Checked permisions in com, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Services>VSS>VssAccessControl.

Any idea?

UPDATE

After installing several windows updates, errors are gone except WINS one.

So... this are not Cobian backup errors :)

Those are non-fatal errors as well and the backup should be done without any other problem as far as I know.

Yes... as I mentioned in the first post, everything is OK with backup.

Just annoing, you see errors in the file server log, and after some time, you start to default to "oh this is those stupid vss errors" and some day, some serious error will come and you will miss it :)
