Dave,
Sorry that I can't offer actual help but I've been running into the same problem - albeit with a 0x80040206 error. I have my machine set up to do weekly backups and each Monday morning I end up restarting my PC to recover from the crash that occurred overnight. Anthony "DaveMc1708" wrote: Can anybody help me.

Many thanks for replying. You would think Microsoft would have sorted this
out before launch -- Dave Mc "girardina" wrote: Dave, Sorry that I can't offer actual help but I've been running into the same problem - albeit with a 0x80040206 error.

I haven't seen this error code reported yet. Can you email me a screenshot
of your Disk Management snap-in (showing disks and volumes) and zip and email me the contents of Windows\Logs\WindowsBackup?

To close this out, we have a workaround for the problem that DaveMc
reported. This is a known bug that we are trying to get fixed for SP1. The workaround is: 1. Click Start, click Run, type sdclt.exe, and then click Enter. (If Run is not on your Start menu, you can type “Run” in the Search box to find it.) 2. Click the Backup Files button on the left. 3. On the right side, click the Change Backup Settings button. 4. Go through the wizard, keeping all settings the way they are until you reach the last page. 5. On the last page, check the checkbox named Create a new full backup now in addition to saving settings. -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi Jill I am having the same problem when I try to run a backup. I have
tried the steps you outlined and I keep getting the error "File backup could not save your automatic backup settings for the following reason: The parameter is incorrect. (0X80070057) Pleas try again. There is no check box and it says: Because this is your first backup, Windows will create a new, full backup now. I select Save settings and start backup then get the Same Windows Backup error box. I am on Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 build 6001. I am trying to backup to a external firewire/usb Maxtor terabyte drive. Thanks Mark "Jill Zoeller [MSFT]" wrote: To close this out, we have a workaround for the problem that DaveMc reported.

The backup feature leaves a LOT to be desired.
