I am trying to back up the System State, C drive, and D:\~\MSSQL\Backup folder on a W2K3 server.

Initially, the backup policy (NBU 6.0 MP2 Solaris 10) included the System_State directive, with the server's Volume Shadow Copy service off: this resulted in a status 71: none of the files in the file list exist.

Next, I changed the directive to Shadow Copy Components:\ with the VSC service off; this gave the same result.

Finally, the server's VSC service was turned on with the Shadow Copy Components:\ directive; this resulted in a status 1, with the following errors:

09/20/2006 13:56:53 - Warning bpbrm (pid=696) from client: WRN - can't open object: Shadow Copy Components:\System State\System Files\System Files (BEDS 0xE000FEDD: A failure occurred accessing the object list.

the requested operation was partially successful (1)

A similar server was set up with Shadow Copy Components directive and VSC off, and is backing up fine.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
