Because I need to mimic what customers in the field are using, I need to keep a VM server-2000 box running.
On that box I'm backing up successfully:
1) C:\ drive
2) D:\ Drive
3) The Sql instance on it
4) Utility partition
Not backing up successfully:
5) SystemState
For the last couple of weeks, everything has backed up successfully except the ststemstate. I've rebooted the server, looked at services, HD space, looked at logs. This used to work, I cannot ID any changers that would cause the SS not to back up.
Below are my error messages:
Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xe000847c - An error occurred retrieving System State files.
The System State file could not be backed up.
Final error category: Resource Errors
V-79-57344-33916 - An error occurred retrieving System State files.
I'm stuck having to backup this server until the software we sell is no longer supported for our customers.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thank you
