Ntbackup (error returned while creating the volume shadow copy 800423f4) XP

[markm75c]

I get this error in NTBackup in XP:
"Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy" 800423f4


The log follows with the listing of my mdb files that were unable to be

backed up as a result, as well as outlook pst files etc..


I've searched around and havent found a solution which matches my
issue, most were for 2003 (a hotfix, which wouldnt work for XP).


Does anyone know of a solution?

tick the box to turn off volume shadow copy on the advanced tab when using
the wizard

I was just looking at that shadow copy option the other day.... what are the
implications of turning it off?
Thanks is advance.

When used in conjunction with backup it permits backing up open files.

If I turn it off then these files cant be backed up when open, which is
nearly all the time.

In the past this was never a problem (using shadow copy).

I have verified that the service is running etc...
