Hi,
I am running XP and have 2HDDs installed.
C:\ 20G
D:\ 40G
I tried to run NTbackup so that i can have a copy of C:\
on my D:\. But i got an error message.

"Media name: "Backup.bkf created 12/29/2003 at 15:45"
Error returned while creating the volume shadow
copy:80042301
Aborting Backup.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Robert Tseng

Hi,

As far as I know, there are three possible causes for this specific
problem (NTBackup fails with 80042301):

1) The COM+ Event System service was manually disabled (open
services.msc and, if this is the case, re-enable this service). This
service should be enabled by default.

2) There was a problem in the final phase during Windows Setup. To
double-check, just run the following command:
REG QUERY HKLM\System\Setup

If the SystemSetupInProgress or UpgradeInProgress values are different
than zero, then something wrong happened during setup, and you will
get the 80042301 message.

To fix this issue in this case, please run the two commands below:

REG ADD HKLM\system\setup /v SystemSetupInProgress /t REG_DWORD /d 0

REG ADD HKLM\system\setup /v UpgradeInProgress /t REG_DWORD /d 0

3) The COM+ infrastructure failed to properly install during Windows
Setup. To reinstall COM+, please follow the steps from this KB
article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315296

Please let me know if the problem could not be fixed with the steps
above.

In addition, can you look if there are any VSS and COM+ errors in the
Event Log? If yes, can you copy & paste them in your reply? Please use
eventvwr to copy & paste the events since the private data might also
be useful.

Thanks, Adi

REG QUERY HKLM\System\Setup

Thank oyu for your help. Think it has to do with a update from MS
2003. I found some modifications in security settings (I may have
caused it though) tha since I changed it I have been able to once more
to a backup to drive on server. Since only one scheduled backup has
worked, I will keep my fingers crossed. Appreciated your input though
I tried all except the checking the reg, which both where 0.

Again thanks
