Microsoft Backup utility

[Piyush]

When I use the MS backup utility to backup all files
(first time backing up) to a CD I get the following error

ackup Status
Operation: Backup
Active backup destination: File
Media name: "Backup.bkf created 4/15/2004 at 11:43 AM"


Error returned while creating the volume shadow
copy:80042301
Aborting Backup.

As a workaround, backup to a folder on your hard drive and then burn it to
CD.
A better solution may be to invest in a more sophisticated backup program.
