    I have a pretty freshly installed SBS 2011, which backed up just fine right after I set it up.

    After a couple of days, backup stopped working. Whenever I run it, I get the following error:

    Backup unsuccessful
    A Volume Shadow Copy Service operation failed. Unknown error (0x800423f0)

    How can I fix this?

    There are many updates and patches (SharePoint being the main culprit) which require you to 'inplace upgrade' VSS otherwise you'll find things breaking all the time. SharePoint, Backups, WSUS to name a few. On my SBS2011 install I've created a batch file to run the above command and have it on the desktop. After any update/upgrade or any part of troubleshooting an SBS problem I always run the inplace upgrade first. I've not noticed any ill effects from doing so (SBS is so broken anyway I probably wouldn't spot them).
