I am running Windows XP Professional with service pack 1.
The first time I attempted to back up the system registry
using System Backup, it worked fine.

Now I get the following error message: Error returned
while creating the volume shadow copy:800423f4. Microsoft
does have one knowledge base article (Microsoft Knowledge
Base Article - 826936), but this refers to Microsoft
Server 2003. Any suggestions? I made sure that I was not
running SQL server with service pack 3.

Thanks
 
Hi Ken,

I would have some questions:
1) After this error, can you please run the "VSSADMIN LIST WRITERS"
command and cut & paste the output in your reply?
2) Are there any errors OR WARNINGS in the Event Logs (in particular
VSS errors)?
3) How much space you have on the volumes on your machine? Are there
any volumes with very low free space?

Thanks, Adi
