Windows 7 Backup Error

Does anyone know what would cause the following backup error?

The backup was not successful. The error is: Windows Backup encountered a problem while determining additional locations of one of the users included in backup. (0x81000038).

Hello Wiperman, welcome to SevenForums.

I've had this error dialog a couple of times when making backup, because one external HD included in backup was disconnected. Reconnecting this drive and running backup again solved the issue.

Hope this helps.

Kari,

Thanks for the quick reply. However, I do not have any HD included in the backup.

I had the same error, what solved the problem for me is deselecting the libraries option and only selecting saving system files and my C: drive. Hope this helps

Was it this one, or some other one (for those not interested in how) ???

I copied the file DATA1.MSI from the Office 2000 disk into the C:\Windows\Sytem32 folder and I've never been prompted again!

Copying the DATA1.MSI from the Office 2000 disk was the fix that worked for me.
