Re: problem backing up system state

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Ntbackups is a pathetic excuse for a backup solution. Use something more
robust. Personally I use DriveImage XML.

When I try to backup the sytem state on an external USB disk using ntbackup
the USB disk became unavailable, the backup fail and I have to disconnect and
reconnect USB disk to access it.
If I try to backup the system state on the 2nd disk, ATA disk, the system
hangs and I have to restart it using reset button.

I have no problem to backup system diectory (c:\windows\) or any data files.

The system is Windows XP Pro SP2, patched with the latest patches available
on windows update site.

I hope anyone can help me, thanks in advance.
