Default Error while creating the volume shadow copy for backup

Hi,

That article is innacurate
(http://www.langa.com/newsletters/2001/2001-11-26.htm#3 ). A shadow copy is
used (by a backup application) to read a stable version of any file on the
volume, including open files. A failure while creating the shadow copy
cannot be caused by having open files on your volume.

Your specific error (800423f4) might be caused by the lack of free space on
the boot volume (the volume that contains the operating system). In order to
use the shadow copy feature, you need at least 50-100 Mb free space on this
volume (depending on your size of the event log and registry). In addition,
you need at least 120-150 Mb free space on an NTFS volume in your system,
for every volume that you include in your backup.

Please let me know if your problem persists after making sure that you have
enough free space.

Thanks, Adi

I am getting an error every time I am starting System
State backup:
"Error returned while creating the volume shadow
copy:800423f4
Aborting Backup."

What is causing this problem and how can I fix it.
Thank you in advance.
