I'm trying to backup my server 2003 system state using the builtin backup
utility but keep getting the following error:
Backup Status
Operation: Backup
Active backup destination: File
Media name: "SBBackup System State Backup.bkf created 4/10/2008 at 3:10 PM"

Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0x8004230c.

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:8004230c
Aborting Backup.

The operation did not successfully complete.

Any thoughts?

This is a subject that pops up with great regularity. As a
first step I suggest you have a look at existing threads
with the words "system state" in the Subject line.
