Try re-registering (regsvr32) ole32.dll. Set the volume shadow copy
service to Automatic.

Product Version: Windows 2003 SBS w/SP2
Exchange Version: SP2

The subject sums up what occurs visibly when I try to run a system state
backup or any file type backup. here is what the log says:

Backup Status
Operation: Backup
Active backup destination: File
Media name: "System_State.bkf created 6/11/2008 at 6:47 PM"

Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.
Timeout before function completed

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0xffffffff.

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:ffffffff
Aborting Backup.

----------------------

The operation did not successfully complete.

----------------------

I also have these events logged in the application log of the event
viewer.
They are logged in this order as the backup runs.

1st-

EventID: 215
certsrv.exe (1628) The backup has been stopped because it was halted by
the
client or the connection with the client failed.

2nd-

EventID: 6013
Sqllib error: OLEDB Error encountered calling IDBInitialize::Initialize.
hr
= 0x80004005. SQLSTATE: 08001, Native Error: 18
Error state: 1, Severity: 16
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Error message: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (SECDoClientHandshake()).]SSL
Security error.

I have tried a lot of things before making this post and need some help.
Here's what I've tried.

1st - Applying this hotifx - this wouldn't apply due to my Service Pack
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;891957

2nd - I wasn't able to download this hotfix - I'm assuming my Service
Pack
includes this.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913648

3rd - Ran through re-registering DLL's.

1. Open a command prompt
2. Change directories to \windows\system32 (this is important when you
begin registering the dlls) by following command

CD C:\windows\system32

3. Stop VSS service

net stop vss

4. Then register the following dlls and services (be sure you're still in
the windows\system32 directory at your command prompt):

regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
Vssvc /Register
regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 vssui.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll

4th - Found this hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913100/ that
seems
to be describing what I'm seeing but I can't open it and run it to
install
it. I get this error:

the image update\update.exe is valid but is for another machine type.

Any help would be highly appreciated, as this problem is driving me nuts
and
I need to do a backup.

thanks



Thanks for the reply. It is set to automatic and running.

It's still not working though and I need HELP!!
