joezep1--Here is a brief overview of NTBackup

You can see that it is necessary to have Volume Shadow Copy running (or at least not disabled). Check your Services list.

Jim,

I tuned on volume shadow and still the same...any other suggestions?

Reinstall NT Backup using your XP install CD. It resides in the Value added folder.

Simply insert the XP CD, and run NTBACKUP.MSI (it might look like just "Ntbackup ") program from the folder D:\Valueadd\msft\ntbackup where D: is the letter of your CD drive. This will launch the Windows Backup Utility Installation Wizard, which will install the utility automatically. When it is finished, click "Finish. "
