If I attempt a backup in Windows XP (in this case x64 edition), backing
up system state data, while a project is open in Visual Studio 2005, I
receive the following error:

"MSDEWriter" has reported an error 0x800423f4, the backup never starts,
just goes straight to this error in the log.

Does anyone know of a fix for this?

I cant seem to find any info out there, other than related to Server
2003 and the ideas usually dont apply on XP.

Thanks
 
Have you tried making sure Shadow Copy is turned on? Not sure it
works for non-os purposes though.

Othwerwise, why not just close the project? Run the backup
during a non-use time, say at the end of the day, and close
studio for that run.

Yeah I've tried that.

I work on a bunch of projects, which I leave open for speed issues, so
closing isnt practical, nor should it really be needed. It wasnt an
issue before.
