ABR10 Backup Fails, drives and volumes not seen

Thread needs solution

Backing up 2 volumes on 2 RAID 1 arrays on the same RAID controller.

It has been working for the past 2 years using the same configuration without problem. No hardware or software changes have been done in several months.

ABR version 10.0.12457 (which is old but, like I said, it has been working all this time)
Windows Server 2008 x64 with SP2, Dell T610, 12.0GB RAM

The job takes about 5 seconds to fail. This is the error text:

Error occurred while running the backup and recovery engine.
Additional info:
--------------------
Error code: 2
Module: 218
LineInfo: 600f7166ce397df5
Fields: $module : C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\mms.exe
Message: Error occurred while running the backup and recovery engine.
--------------------

I have tried creating a new backup job but it doesn't see any disks on the server at all. I have tried updating Snapapi.dll to version 3.1.0.329 with no difference. I have rebooted the machine several times.

When you go into Disk Management from inside Acronis it shows all the correct disks, but it does show the external drive to be empty even though in actuality it is about 75% full. Disk management looks normal inside Windows' disk management.
