When trying to backup my system I receive error 'Your backup configuration
is not valid. Review your backup settings. (0x81000029)'. Currently I'm trying to backup to an external HDD and I've accepted all the default settings except for the day/time which I changed Monday at 2:00 AM. I've tried changing from the default values to see if the error is being thrown by one of the defaults with no luck. I also checked to make sure there was enough room on the destination disk and there is. My build is RTM Ultimate x64, I'm also attaching my logs from 'C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsBackup' as I noted in a post by another user that these logs were requested. Thanks, -Jason Cox |

Hi Jason, I'll ask our team to take a look at this. However, with the
holidays and vacations, I can't guarantee when I'll hear a response. The last newsgroup customer who reported this error was using a funky trial build, and a clean install fixed his problem. -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Jason, we'd like to get some screenshots of your disk configuration (as seen
from Disk Management). Can you email the screenshots to me? My email address works minus "online." Thanks! -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Yes, the problem occurs because your OEM partition is marked as Active (you
can see this in Disk Management). I have requested a KB to walk customers through the process of changing the Active partition to a different partition. Can you tell me more about your computer--is it brand new? Who made it? Did you do a clean install or an upgrade? -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Thanks Jill. It works. The two errors 0x81000029 and 0x80070001 are related
to the same problem. I used the instructions from the following link to solve the problem. Within 5 minutes everything became just perfect.

Unfortunately, just like everything Microsoft, the link (http://www.microsoft-tech.com/index.aspx?content=22) does not work! Nor does the server itself. Can anyone copy the text from this website if they have it? It's ironic, MS stole the back-up idea from Mac, and they can't even make it work on a brand-new computer with a brand-new install, and a brand-new external HDD.
