All local drives should include the system state / shadow copy - you could
remove this and try again, or it could be a comms problem between the server
and the client(s).

Simon,
        That's what I actually have - sorry if I was unclear.

Currently the policy, backing up Win 2K and 2K3 is 
NEW_STREAM
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES
NEW_STREAM
System_State:\

I thought that System_State covered 2K3, but was beginning to wonder. I'll
be looking for other options for debugging the 71.

Thanks,
Jason

That could be the problem..... Win2k boxes don't know ANYTHING about Shadow
Copy compenents :-)

What you are best doing is:

1) Set the policy to do System State which Win2k and Win2k3 understand
2) Just backup the C: Drive, which I now understand DOES indeed backup the
System State and Shadow Copy Components for both boxes!

System state is fine for Win2k3
Shadow Copy is NOT fine for Win2k !

I'm trying to debug an issue that has cropped up recently with some of our
DMZ servers.  In particular, one Windows 2003 Server gave me an error 71
last night, "none of the files in the file list exist".  So, I looked at the
policy, and I have the following directives set:

NEW_STREAM
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES
NEW_STREAM
System_State:\

The directive set for Windwos 2003 doesn't include System_State, but instead
Shadow_Copy_Components.  So, would the System_State blow this up?

The policy is backing up both Win2K and Win2K3 boxes.  I thought I
remembered that System_State was safe with 2K3.  Wrong?

Thanks,
Jason
