It only fails if I backup System State at the same time as everything else
(including Exchange). System State can be backed-up on its own fine!

It's up to you. I'd be very concerned about a failing backup.

Something I forgot to mention, it was exactly the same mothboard, same
model even the same revision.
The problem I have now is that the server appears to the customer to be
working fine, apart from the few remaining minor problems, the staff are
now back up and running fine. The business is still struggling to
recover from the downtime caused by the original server crash. They are
going to be extremely wary of letting me wipe out what they have working
in the hope of fixing what to them is a monor error.

Even though it sometimes looks like you don't need a repair install I
have found out the hard way that a motherboard swap almost always
requires it. I don't even try to boot after swapping a motherboard. I
boot from the install media and perform a repair install (in place
upgrade), then on the first boot to Windows go into the device manager,
enable the View hidden devices setting, remove all the old leftover
crap particularly NICs, then reboot. I am sure your problem could be
fixed but I really think you are at the point where it's going to be
better and quicker to rebuild from scratch.

Hi Kerry,
No did not do actually need to do an inplace upgrade, once update.sys
had been replaced with the older version we had a bootable windows
partition so restored over the top of the existing.
Reinstalling from scratch would leave them offline for an awfully long
time, remembering that there is then also service pack 1 to install
and all the rest that came with that, not to mention all the other
software, configuration changes and various fixes which have since
been applied.

After replacing the motherboard did you do a repair install?

Since restoring our server after a no-boot total failure, system
state backup fails with the following errors:
Error: Could not access portions of directory System State\COM+
Class Registration Database.
You may not have permission to open the file, or the directory may
be missing or damaged.
Please contact the owner or administrator.
Error: Could not access portions of directory System State\Registry.
You may not have permission to open the file, or the directory may
be missing or damaged.
Please contact the owner or administrator.
We also see the following event log errors
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7011

Time: 10:03:29

Description:

Description:
The shadow copies of volume C: were aborted because of an IO failure

Anyone suggest how to solve this, before the crash our backup worked
fine?
Thanks,

In case it is relevant - a brief explanation of the server crash:
Intermittant lockups and various disk problems with the hardware
mirrored drives.
Complete failure of RAID controller - can still boot from source
disk but not as part of RAID array.
Replaced mothboard with onboard RAID controller.
Server worked fine for about five days.
Server BSOD, pulled power now will not boot, seriously dead
server.
Safe mode and all other recovery modes failed.
Safe mode locks-up after acpitabl.dat
Reset BIOS to factory defaults.
Recovery console now boots.
Copy in older update.sys, this now allows boot but with large
amount of errors.
Recover server, partly from tape, partly by fixing various
individual problems.
