NTbackup

[Guest]

HI,
I have 2 HDD on my system, C:\ is 20G and D:\ is 40G, I
tried to run NTbackup on my system so that i can have a
copy of C drive on my D drive. But i got an error message.

"Media name: "Backup.bkf created 12/29/2003 at 15:38"
Error returned while creating the volume shadow
copy:80042301
Aborting Backup.

Any ideas??

Regards,
Robert

Windows XP's standard backup utility is not designed to perform
a complete system backup. It is designed to backup data files and folders.

You'll need a "full-featured" backup program to accomplish your goal.

Is the drive formated and partitioned ??

Is the format NTFS and not Fat 16 or 32 and the backup is
over 4 gb you will get that error.

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
