I have a new server with Windows 2008R2 preinstalled on it.
I wanted a separate partition for programs so I created this and installed my programs onto it.
Using windows server backup I can do back ups of all volumes but I cannot backup the system state.
The error says 'The system writer is not found in the backup'
When I do vssadmin list writers there is no system writer there. I've googled and tried lots of 'solutions' including uninstalling and reinstalling windows server backup, taking ownership and changing permissions on the pending renames, filemaps and temp folders in winxs, installing a Hotfix from Microsoft (says this is not applicable to my computer even though I chose the right version) etc.
By the way it doesn't matter which destination I backup too either, still get the error.
Please help!
