Volume Shadow Copy Fails with Error 800423F4
I am unable to backup my Xp/Pro system configuration. I have verified that
the Volume Shadow Copy service is running (thanks), have roughly 1gb of free space on my system drive, 17gb on my user data drive, 1gb of system memory on a dual processor Dell 420. My system is a member of a Small Business server 4.5 domain, was converted from NT4sp6a by the XP/pro install. So some of the 'standard' directories like 'Documents and Settings' do not exist. Backup can be started, but fails quickly. The error reported in the logfile is '800423F4'. I have searched every available resource and found no mention of this error code -- presumably it is a low level status return (if this were VMS it would be an OS message) that is just not being trapped by the wrapper code. The only way I am able to do backups is to disable Volume Shadow Copy in advanced options. Obviously, if I loose my system disk, the install is toast but at least I can recover from the usual excessive disk cleanup and application screwups. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be going wrong? And what I should do to correct it? thanks -- Gregory Latiak Technology Strategists, Inc. http://www.tekstrat.com/ Tel: (416)540-7384 Images http://members.rogers.com/greglatiak/ |
