Hi all, I can't find any information on this exact problem on Technet. I'm using the SBS2003 backup utility and it's failing on Backup when it gets to the AD. Details Application Event Log has the following Event Type: Error Event Source: NTBackup Event Category: None Event ID: 8012 Date: 18/04/2007 Time: 17:10:40 User: N/A Computer: FRED Description: The 'Active Directory' returned 'The parameter is incorrect. ' from a call to 'BackupRead()' additional data '-'
The backup.log file has the following:- Backup started on 18/04/2007 at 17:09. The 'Active Directory' returned 'The parameter is incorrect. ' from a call to 'BackupReadFile' additional data '-' The operation was ended. Backup completed on 18/04/2007 at 17:10. Directories: 184 Files: 2987 Bytes: 547,614,902 Time: 1 minute and 13 seconds I'm logged onto the server as an administrator and I've tried rebooting the server. It's failed 4 times today, once after a reboot. I'm just trying a system state backup only to see if that breaks through it but I'm not hopeful!
