----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------we also getting the following errors from with Shadow Copies tab on the drive when hitting the enable button:
Failed to create a shadow copy of volume E:\
Error 0x80042308: the specified volume was not found
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know exactly why this is a problem as LUN disk: (\\?\Volume{c005006a-362a-11dd-a9b7-001e0bd35906} is an old deleted and non-existent drive and I have no idea as to why VSS is referring too it.

never mind,
I fixed the issue myself I found an entry for HKLM\system\controlset001\services\vss\associations. I found a reference to ({c005006a-362a-11dd-a9b7-001e0bd35906}} which I deleted and rebooted the server and can now create a shadow copy.
