ok it works now i change parameter on -targetbackup:F:
but it says me

"Log of files for which backup failed:
C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup\Backup_Error-....log

the operation ended before completion
the parameter is incorrect"

but the log file is empty.. what mistake is now ?

the command is:

wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backupTarget:f:

not:

wbadmin start systemstatebackup -TargetBackup:f:

ICTcity: oh thankyou i type it wrong but on the printscreen its right

Systemstate backup is a SYSTEM STATE BACKUP. So, 10GB are not too much...

anyway, take a look at this article:

if you want to be able to backup ONLY the AD, I think you should buy 3rd part software...

Can you post the log?

Also... try the command with the UPPERCASE letter F... perhaps it helps...
