Last night we experienced 3 similar scenarios on seperate servers regarding DEP. While 'frowned' upon, we perform nightly backups directly across the network. We have been successfully running v6.5.1.9 for 2 weeks on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x64.

A quick search of the forums yielded little help. DEP issues existed once, but "were resolved" in 2007.
I'm not sure which log(s) are most useful, but I can post them if requested.(since the service stopped, the GUI doesn't register this backup)

I've not heard of any DEP related issues recently- perhaps a windows update has triggered it?
You should be able to exclude the SQL Backup engine from DEP by right-clicking "My Computer", selecting "Properties", going to the "Advanced" tab, then "Settings" (under Performance). The DEP tab in the screen that appears allows you to exclude the SQL Backup service.
I'm not sure if it will have produced any useful log information if Windows killed the process, although you may find more reasons as to why in the Windows event logs.

I'd prefer to have this record at least in case others are searching for the event.
Hope it behaves going forwards!
