Correction:<br />
<br />
The &quot;ImagePath&quot; value specified above did not work for me although it theoretically should have. The below value did work.<br />
<br />

C:\WINDOWS\system32\vssvc.<wbr />exe<br />

Thanks.

Hi all.<br />
<br />
In the Disk Management Console of a Windows Server 2003 R2 machine, I access the &quot;Shadow Copies&quot; tab of my &quot;C&quot; drive. It reads:<br />
<br />
Initialization failed.<br />
Error 0x80070003: The system cannot find the path specified.<br />
<br />
I have Googled this and when I cross-reference &quot;Shadow Copies&quot; and &quot;0x80070003&quot;, I get a disappointing 53 results. I take it this isn't so common.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts? Attached is a screen shot. Thank you!<br />

Hi all.

In the Disk Management Console of a Windows Server 2003 R2 machine, I access the "Shadow Copies" tab of my "C" drive. It reads:

Initialization failed.
Error 0x80070003: The system cannot find the path specified.

I have Googled this and when I cross-reference "Shadow Copies" and "0x80070003", I get a disappointing 53 results. I take it this isn't so common.

Any thoughts? Attached is a screen shot. Thank you!

Shadow Copies: Error 0x80070003 - The system cannot find the path specified.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
