System State Backup Failing to remote Drive
Hi I am having problems doing a system state backup of our DC it fails when i try adn do it via the CMD prompt to a local drive because they are critical volumes.
It fails on the Windows Server Backup snap in with the error incoorect parameter.
I have google some of this and people suggest registry is at fault but i am a bit wary when editing the registry.
Any help or suggestions you can give will be great.
Many Thanks

Since these are critical volumes and not backed up, it is a good idea NOT to "poke" in to the system.
If you can get your hands on Symantec Ghost or Acronis backup, do of-line sector backup or better yet, clone the drive. This way, you can safely test your solution,
Also, MS backup is very sensitive to file integrity. Try chkdsk /f/r on the volumes.

I have done this chkdisk but it has not resolved the issue...
Can you provide logfile for the backup failure?
logs can be found in "c:\windows\logs\windowsse rverbackup \backup_er ror*.log"
also do a simple system state backup from GUI of this server, during this check the event log for any VSS error.
