Default 0x81000029 when trying to start backup

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.

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!

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?

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. The link is:

Happy Backup everybody

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. Vista is amazing!

That's because the site www.microsoft.tech.com is not a Microsoft site. It
resolves to 173.88.221.103 which according to ARIN whois:
