Unable to take backup of one server and backup is getting failed due to VSS subsystem issue.Attached screenshot for the same.Kindly suggest

Error
The transfer failed: 'There was a problem with the VSS subsystem on 'servername'
DoSnapshotSet failed with error: 'The system was unable to flush I/O writes. This can be a transient problem. It is recommended to wait ten minutes and try again, up to three times.'
Thanks

    With no other information, in my experience the 3rd one (High IO on the disk) is by far the most common cause. Its also the hardest to fix. VSS needs a VERY short period to snap the disk/ create a shadow and it cant get it. There is way more disk IO than the server can handle. 

    Perfmon and certain disk counters should be your next stop
