System State backup failing

[butter]

I have a 2 node Active/Passive Exchange 2003/SP2 cluster running on Windows
2003 Enterprise/SP2. I try to use the built in Windows Backup Utility to
back it up and it fails on both servers. I get the following error message:

Backup Status
Operation: Backup
Active backup destination: File
Media name: "Sys_State.bkf created 7/24/2007 at 7:48 AM"
Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.
Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0x8004230f.
Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:8004230f
Aborting Backup.
----------------------
The operation did not successfully complete.
----------------------

Anybody experienced this and know how to resolve it?

Thanks in advance
