This service is fine, normal, expected, etc. Good for backing up locked file types.

is a required backup process for systemstate backups

This service manages the "perfect image" backup of volumes that have files in use (opened) while the backup is going. It ensures that applications can continue writing data during the backup, that files that are opened are not omitted by the backup, and that backups can be performed at any time without locking users out. Recommendation : It is not possible to backup open files in Windows XP/2003 without this service running, so, if you use backup software, leave it running. If you have no use for this service, disable it via the "Administrative Tools \ Services" icon in the Control Panel.
