RE: ntbackup error: bad data

Hi,

Thanks for your update.

I think NTBACKUP is ok, because you have backed up your date to the local
hard disk successfully.
Do you check the Event Viewer, any error message about VSS in the
application pool?
Please help me to collect the information for research.

In additional, To diagnose the Volume Shadow Copy service writer problem,
run the vssadmin command immediately after the backup failure:
Click START, and the click Run.
Type vssadmin list writers
What is the result?

let's install the following VSS hotfix, and then check if the issue can be
reproduced.

For SBS 2003 SP0:

A Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) update package is available for ...

A Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) update-2 package is available
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;887827

For SBS 2003 SP1:

Update is available that fixes various Volume Shadow Copy Service issues in
Windows Server 2003

Hope this helps.
