I wonder if that system's Certificate Server Database is intact and
viable?  It's suspicious that CertSrvBackupOpenFile obviously worked but
the subsequent CertSrvBackupRead failed, which would indicate a problem
with contents.  That would be worth checking out.  First, though, I would
proceed to apply SP 4 to that W2000 system, to fully bring it up to
current level, and try the backup again.
