Is backup still not working?

Also worth checking Volume Shadow Copy service is set to Automatic.

If that doesn't do it, try a repair install.

Webplodder, which edition of Windows 7 are you running and where are you trying to back up to? The reason I am asking is that the Starter, Home Basic and Home Premium editions do not allow you to backup to a network.

Ok, I changed Volume Shadow Copy service from manual to automatic and it seems to have done the trick SIW2, looks like this was the problem.

Many thanks and many thanks to everyone who made suggestions. Hope this will be of use to other people who experience the same problem.

Thanks again.

I am getting the exact same error in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have tried manual and auto on the Windows Backup service, and the RPC service is running.
