I noticed that my server backup is running terribly slow at some
times. I suspect that this is somehow linked to SQL VSS Writer
service. Unfortunately I'm a complete newbie in SQL management and
couldn't figure out where to look to get to some logs or something
that would tell me what is that service doing. Any help?

How big is the database? Do you run the backup during the day activities?

If you don't want the SQL Server databases to be part of your VSS backup,
then stop the SQL Server VSS service (and exclude the SQL Server database
files from the machine backup). And of course do backup of the SQL Server
database using traditional SQL Server backups.
