Event logs before, during, after backup

Thread needs solution

I would like to know if these event logs on machines being backed up are normal.
They are event type Error, so they email us and needless to say for every machine we get a lot of nightly emails. We use a software package called EventSentry that combs event logs and sends them to us so we are alerted of potential server issues and even things like AD accounts getting locked out, created or modified. Here is an example for one of our servers in order from oldest to newest.
