Backup fails with "parameter is incorrect Ox80070057"

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I have never been able to backup this Vista PC (Dell Inspiron E1505) to DVD
using Windows backup and Restore. Each attempt fails after a few minutes
with an error message that reads "the parameter is incorrect Ox80070057". I
have tried multiple blank DVDs and enabling and starting the Windows Shadow
Copy service (a suggestion seen on this forum). Has anyone experienced this
and better yet know of a solution? I have found nothing else on the
Communities posts, the MS Knowledge base or in general web searches.
