Hi Tyronne,

Legato Support talks about various possibilities for this sort of issue,
==================================================
*#1:*
Note: Fact: Windows 2003
Fact: NetWorker
Fact: Backup succeed when nsrexecd run with Domain Admin Account
Symptom: Problem backing up SYSTEM STATE:
Symptom: Error: 'SYSTEM STATE:\ Registry - Cannot save Registry key
SECURITY: 0x00000006'
Symptom: Error: 'SYSTEM STATE:\ COM+ Registration Database - Error saving'
Symptom: Error: 'SYSTEM STATE:\ Registry - Error saving'
Symptom: Error: 'SYSTEM STATE:\ save: RPC error: RPC cannot encode
arguments'
Change: Upgraded the OS from Windows 2000 to 2003
Cause: The problem related to some security patches from Microsoft
Fix: Apply the latest Microsoft Hot fixes
==================================================
*#2:*

Subject: Error: 'System State:\ Registry - Error Saving'


Note: Fact: Windows NT
Fact: NetWorker for Windows/NT
Symptom: Error: 'System State:\ Registry - Error Saving'
Symptom: Backup of REGISTRY fails
Change: Started nsrd and nsrexecd on the NetWorker Server using a
user-defined NT account named "backup".
Change: Started nsrexecd on the NetWorker Client using a user-defined NT
account named "backup".
Cause: Permissions assigned to the user "backup" did not have the
appropriate rights to backup the Registry.
Fix: Using Microsoft Service Manager, change the account that nsrexecd on
the NetWorker Client starts with, so that it runs under the Administrators
Account or the System Account.

This modification requires the nsrexecd service to be stopped, then
restarted.
=========================================================

*#3:*

Fact: Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Fact: NetWorker 7.1.2
Fact: NTbackup backup the SYSTEM STATE successfully without any error
Symptom: Unable to perform backup of SYSTEM DB:
Symptom: Error: 'Registry - Cannot save Registry key SOFTWARE: 0x00000006'
Symptom: Error: 'SYSTEM STATE:\ Registry - Cannot save Registry key
.DEFAULT: 0x00000006'
Symptom: Error: 'System State:\ Registry - Error Saving'
Symptom: Error: 'SYSTEM STATE:\ save: RPC error: RPC cannot encode
arguments'
Symptom: Error: 'save: SYSTEM STATE: REGOW - Error saving component'
Symptom: Error: 'SYSTEM STATE:\ save: save of SYSTEM STATE:\ to
(server_name) failed'
Cause: SYSTEM account used to start client service nsrexecd
Fix: Start nsrexecd service on client under the Administrator account
===================================================

Fact: Windows XP SP1
Fact: NetWorker 7.1
Fact: Open File Manager (OFM)
Fact: OFM 9.3
Fact: Backup of all other save sets is successful
Symptom: "SYSTEM STATE:" registry backup fails
Symptom: Backup of SYSTEM STATE fails during the backup of Registry
Symptom: Error: 'SYSTEM STATE:\ Registry - Cannot save exported Registry
hive SECURITY to C:\WINNT\System32\CONFIG\SECURITY_NSR: 0x00000057 '
Symptom: Error: 'SYSTEM STATE:\ save: RPC error: RPC cannot encode arguments
'
Symptom: Error: 'SYSTEM STATE:\ Registry - Error saving'
Symptom: Error: 'SYSTEM STATE:\ save: save of SYSTEM STATE:\ to <server
name> failed '
Symptom: SYSTEM STATE schedule backup failed
Fix: Ongoing issue with OFM.
Workaround:
- Pause OFM
- Run SYSTEM STATE backup
- Resume OFM and continue the backup for the other save sets

==============================================================

Though most likely it seems to be a privilege related issue with user
account with which NetWorker services are started, please try the solution
with most number of matches to your install envirinment.

Its better to sort out problem causing this error message than skipping
system state backup.
