IIS Metabase backup error

[ife69]

Hi,

 

I was trying to backup a server with the follwoing spec:

 

Name: prophet

Dual P3 900MHz

2GB RAM

17GB RAID5 (w/ 1 additional hotspare)

Installed:

IIS

Visual Studio

Prophet 4.2

Apache

MySQL 4.1

McAffee A.V. 7.1

Retrospect client (latest version)

 

We use Retrospect Multiserver 7 with latest updates

 

I received the following error whilst trying to backup the box:

 

Error: 08/11/2005 11:43:52 Can't back up IIS Metabase, error 292958428 (unknown)

 

Does anyone have any ideas what would cause this? I just want to back it up as we need a backup that we could reliably use in the event of a failure (be it hardware or configuration). If anyone has encountered this, any help would be immensly appreciated.

Hi

 

Was IIS running at the time of the backup? This error can occur if IIS has been installed at one point and then removed.

 

Thanks
