I'm seeing an error popping up in the application log on both nodes of my Server 2012 cluster. The events seem to occur when DPM begins a system state/bmr backup of the node. The DPM Backups usually complete successfully, but over the course of a sync or consistency check this event might appear 8-10 times in the application log of the cluster node. The event reads:

If I run 'vssadmin list writers' after the backup job completes, all writers report their state as stable with no errors.
I came across this error recently when trying to troubleshoot another issue, but looking back, I can see that these have been going on for a while. The first instance I see occurred in early March.
Any suggestions on what I can do to clear up this error?
