Hi Team:
Setting up a new SBS 2003 Premium installation at a client.

1. Had SBS2003 SP2 installed with SQL2000 server/ SharePoint. SBS2003
backup (from Server Management) ran perfectly.

2. Trying to Upgrade to SBS2003 R2.

3. Upgraded to SQL2005 server/ SharePoint. OK. SBS2003 backup ( from Server
Management) Fails with the following:
___________________

Backup Status
Operation: Backup
Active backup destination: LTO Ultrium
Media name: "Media created 12/11/2007 at 8:00 AM"

Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.
"MSDEWriter" has reported an error 0x800423f4. This is part of System State.
The backup cannot continue.

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:800423f4
Aborting Backup.
______

What am doing wrong or missing? Any thoughts suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Kaloo
