my windows 2003 server is installed with service pack 1, it has sql and vss,
its a very new machine, dosn't have much data on it, and the server has 4 gb
ram, and dual xeon processors
it gives the following error
Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0xffffffff.
i went thru a few forums n they said microsoft recomends registering a few dll
net stop vss
regsvr32 /s ole32.dll
regsvr32 /s vss_ps.dll
Vssvc /Register
regsvr32 /s /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /s /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 /s es.dll
regsvr32 /s stdprov.dll
regsvr32 /s vssui.dll
regsvr32 /s msxml.dll
regsvr32 /s msxml3.dll
regsvr32 /s msxml4.dll
i registered the above, but all invain,
I also installed a patch from
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;891957
any help would be very much appreciated...
right now I'm trying the backup with a software called handy backup... the
backup has been going on for 8 hrs now.... with such lil data it shld be done
in 30 min or so, coz i'm not writing it on a tape, I'm writing it onto
another server...
