I am trying to run ntbackup.exe under windows server 2008. The reason for
this is due to the defficiencies and limitations in windows server backup -
specifically, I am trying to backup files from a drive > 2TB.

I have followed the instructions here:
http://cs.thefoleyhouse.co.uk/blogs...w-to-backup-exchange-2007-on-server-2008.aspx

But I am getting this error in my applicataion log:
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: An error occured calling QueryInterface
from IVssCoordinator to IVssShim. hr = 0x80004002.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Hello Marcos,

The article you posted applies to a VISTA machine used for backup, NOT the
2008 server itself.
The builtin backup from 2008 does not have the option for file/folder backup.
It will backup volumes and drives. There is only a ntbackup.exe for 2008
which allows you to read older backup files created with ntbackup before
2008.

Best regards

Re: Running ntbackup in Windows Server 2008

Actually, no - the link I sent are instructions on setting up ntbackup under
Windows 2008 - they simply followed the instructions for Vista (kernels on
vista/2008 are the same, so the steps are the same).

If you'll look at the snapshots, you'll see Server Manager running in the
background, and ntbackup running in the foreground.

It's not so much individual file backups that matters to me - like I said,
as it stands, I have no way of backing up using the built-in Windows tools.
I have a 4TB drive, and windows server backup only allows drives < 2TB.
ntbackup works with drives > 4TB, but it won't run under server 2008.
