I tried to rename and delete the C:\adsm.sys file it did not solve the issue 
anyone had this issue before and was able to solve?

Resolving the problem
The errors are pointing to a corruption in the 'adsm.sys' folder on the system 
disk. You can delete the entry listed by the ANS2070E message in the adsm.sys 
folder and run the backup of the systemstate again which will recreate the 
'adsm.sys' folder from scratch.


Thanks in advance!
