Acronis is better than Ghost .. More Popular ... and supports W7
I insist,for some reason its necessary to have 40mb system reserved to START the backup NOT to save the backup.For saving the backup i have 2 hard disk 1.5TB each.
I have test it 3 times when my system reserved has free space 40mb and more the backup started and finish properly.And another 3 times when system reserved free space was below 40mb the backup gave me the 0x80780119 error

Just remove it then. I assume you aren't using bitlocker.
It's not hard , first make your main windows partition ( probabaly C ) into the "system" partition.

Right click sispar.cmd and Run As Admin.
Then delete the 100mb partition.
You can leave it as unallocated space, or extend the main partition left to include it, using any decent 3rd party partition manager.
Paragon Pro can do just about anything.
Partition Wizard (free) does a lot for a freebie - certainly capable of this job.

OK Then here is a MS link that says: "
System Partition Requirements
Basic system partition requirements are:
- Must have at least 100 megabytes (MB) of hard drive space.
- Must have enough free space to create shadow copies of the partition.
- If the partition is less than 500 MB, it must have at least 50 MB of free space."
Understanding Disk Partitions
So basically, the "Reserved System" can be 100MB or larger, even a GB!
Since the built-in Windows 7 Disk Management Utility is not capable of doing this, I would recommend you try the free Partition Wizard Utility. Down load the iso file, use Windows 7 to "burn the disc image" (so it is bootable), boot to the CD and shrink the second partition (say 100MB) and then extend the "System Reserved" partition to 200MB. Vista and the 7 Beta used a 200MB partition, so there is no reason you can't use a 200MB partition.
Hope this helps!

I would listen to SIW2 and delete it. If you're not using BitLocker you will never know it's gone. I install without it on all my personal installs.
