System State backup failing

[Guest butter]

I have a 2 node Active/Passive Exchange 2003/SP2 cluster running on Windows

2003 Enterprise/SP2. I try to use the built in Windows Backup Utility to

back it up and it fails on both servers. I get the following error message:

 

Backup Status

Operation: Backup

Active backup destination: File

Media name: "Sys_State.bkf created 7/24/2007 at 7:48 AM"

Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0x8004230f.

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:8004230f

Aborting Backup.

----------------------

The operation did not successfully complete.

----------------------

 

Anybody experienced this and know how to resolve it?

 

Thanks in advance
