Posted September 17, 200717 yr Hi, We are having a serious problem with ntbackup on our Windows 2003 Standard servers. The problem originally occured when backing up the system state on the Domain controller. The backup fails after a few minutes with an error relating to the Volume Shadow failing at its first attempt. I then tried some investigation, and found that I can't backup up anything, on any of our servers (not just the DC) - even a single file from the C: drive. I get the same error relating to the volume shadow failing on its first attempt during backup. Typically I've left the exact error message on site (its not near where i work). I don't think its the problem that people have had with SP1. Has anyone seen anything similar? I'll post the exact error message when I retrieve it.
