Guest Tobias Bundy Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Hi, I'm running Windows Server 2003 SP1. When using NTBackup to backup the System State I get the following message in the backup log: Backup Status Operation: Backup Active backup destination: File Media name: "Testrun" Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1. Timeout before function completed Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0xffffffff. Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:ffffffff Aborting Backup. ---------------------- The operation did not successfully complete. ---------------------- Shadow Copy is enabled on the server and sufficient disk space is available. When trying to list the vss sriter using vssadmin, there not a single one displayed, the command just keeps jumping back to the prompt. I followd Mircrosoft's advise to re-register the DLLs relevant to the VSS, but without success. Could anybosy give me a hint on how to proceed with troubleshooting ? Thank you very much in advance. Regards Tobias
