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. Richard Sims, BU
