I have two servers running Virtual server 2005 R2 SP1. I'm using Symantec Backup Exec 10d for backups.

One server runs the backups fine but the other will cause the vm's to crash when it tries to backup. I think the problem is because the "Microsoft Vitual Server 2005 Writer" is not showing up when I run "vssadmin list writers". Can I install the writer without reinstalling VS 2005?
