Error on system state with nt backup sbs 2003

Have you done a reboot ?

What about the windows event logs ?


 I hope this helps !

A reboot didn't helped to solve the problem.
In the event log I can't find an error wich should be due to this problem.

Also checked if the VSS service is set to manaul and can be started.

similar issue resolved

Thanks for the reply. I will try the solution at the end of the day because the hotfix needs a reboot.

I have applied the hotfix and rebooted the server.
