Try starting the "Networker Remote Exec Service"  with a local admin account 
and run backup again.  If still fails, run backup of SYSTEM STATE from the 
Networker User Gui on the client and see if it works.

  Check with Tech support this may be a known issue.

Works with ntbackup. Fails with both nw 7.2.2 and the latest nw7.3 jumbo 
patch windows client versions on this host.

The file SECURITY_NSR is recreated by the backup if it has been removed, 
and the file permissions also seem to check out. Any ideas?
