error due to ntbackup

  • When we are taking ntbackup from OS level I am observing this in application log.

    SQLVDI: Loc=CVDS::Cleanup. Desc=Release(ClientAliveMutex). ErrorCode=(288)Attempt to release mutex not owned by caller.

    . Process=236. Thread=5824. Client. Instance=. VD=.

    When i had gone through Microsoft site i found that there is on hotfix to avoid.

    Is there any impact due to this error.Is it sql server error or application error.Kindly let me know.
