SBS Server 2003 System State backup failing

Hi,

I am using NT Backup on an SBS 2003 server and lately when it goes to take a system state backup it fails right away. When I look in the backup log on why it failed, I see the following error code:

"COM+ REGDB Writer" has reported an error 0x800423f4

Any assistance would be a great help.

Thanks
