Backup error: Server execution failed (0x80080005)

[computersplus]

thanks for the kind words sorry we could not come up with a solution to solve the problem was not for lack of trying for sure lol...at least all is well now

Thanks! I think I am about back to normal. As you said it was not for lack of trying that we didn't get it done!
That's for sure! I appreciate people like you who, like me, want to go the extra mile and explore the
possibilities without giving up! I was a programmer/analyst on mainframe stuff and I
always liked to write programs that no one would ever have to touch unless something extraneous changed like
the data, etc. And I was pretty good at doing that. I think that is what it is all about. Making things that need no
maintenance, at least for silly stuff, like it quit functioning just because it broke.

I just have one question related to this backup stuff: Do I need to make another repair disk or can I use the same
one I already have?

I have the backup set for every Sunday at 12:00 Noon. Is there anything else that you can think of that I can do to
avoid getting my system messed up like it was?

I hate fresh installs unless it is for a new OS.
Thanks again!

The reason I would say that it is not an adequate solution to tell the OP "get different backup software" (although I think quite likely that other backup software is better than the one with Windows 7) (I think I will get a different one myself), is that it sounds like he has a serious system problem. That won't go away just by changing his backup software.

I, for instance, am getting that same error number, when I try to update to Win 7 SP1. I in fact downloaded the update package (not with Windows Update) (which now is not working either), I execute the update file, a long time with "preparing your computer", and finally a fail with the server execution failed message.

I think that message is a sign of a serious systemic problem.

Of course, System Restore could be a solution, to restore to a point before the problem started. But all my system restore points are lost. (That is something aggravating about SR. How it can suddenly delete SR points, without asking the user.) Restore from backup? I was also using Windows 7 backup, and that does not work either. (I will switch to a different backup program. But first I need to get my computer running right!)

I tried SFC /Scannow, and also got an error message. (OP If you did not do that, I would suggest it.) I would also try doing a repair install, although that did not work for me.

Hi Folks, I've read this post from start to finish and I have tried every solution that the very patient Computersplus has suggested. I've even done a complete re-install of my OS (Win7 Ultimate 64 bit) to no avail. My Taskmanager has 22 tasks listed, mainly Microsoft tasks with starting times like 1am. As my computer is off at that time of the morning I changed the times to a more reasonable one. I still can not do a Backup, I can't even set up Backups, yet, When it does an update that requires it to make a Restore Point it appears to do so and continues with the update, and creates an update. I've Googled this problem and it seems that there are multitudes out there with the same problem. Can anyone help?

SOLVED I hope that my solution is still useful to those who have the problem of backup

ERROR 0x80080005.

I solved in a simple way. With the help of Unlock I deleted the hidden directory

System Volume Information. Then I made ​​the normal procedure for Backup and everything

it worked out great.

HOW? Could you please analyze the steps you solve the error?

Thanks

I usually don't update old threads, but this error happened to me recently and I was so frustrated that Seven Forums didn't get to the bottom of it because this is always the first place I turn. Anyway for anybody searching the forums here is how I finally fixed it. No change in backup software and no 'nuke the site from orbit' total reinstall.
Solving error 0×80080005 of Windows Backup

server execution failed(0x80080005)

When I attempt either a Backup or Create System Image I get this error:
server execution failed(0x80080005)
I am working with Windows 7 x64,home premium. Clone,MSI MoBrd,2.8G CPU,4 GB Ram, 2-1GB Sata HD.
Actions Taken:
-Gave full permissions to System Volume Information Folder in C: drive
-Went back one restore point
-Started Volume Shadow Copy & MS Shadow Copy Provider Services(orig set to manual)
-ran vssadmin shadow delete /all from admin command prompt(deleted 23 copies)
-Unplugged my 1TB USB Ext Drive that I use for backups
When I click on the Backup or Image links in Backup & Restore, there is approx 30-40sec delay, then the error message window pops up. Does anyone have a new suggestion for solving this error. BTW, I am able to use Acronis True Image to make a system image backup so I believe there is something wrong with the Windows system.

I know this is an old thread, but I am directed here when searching for a fix for the referenced error when trying to start backup. I have also been directed (via search engine) to several other forums, all of which have the same issue, and all seem to end in 2012-2013, with not satisfactory fixes. I may have even posted here myself previously, in past years as this has been an issue for a very long time.

Summary: OS: Win 7 Ultimate, 64-Bit
Backup has always worked 'previously'. 'System Volume Information' exists on Backup Drive
Backup Drive (500GB HDD, half of a split 1TB external drive console, connected via USB, sans HUB) is visible and addressable in Windows Explorer. Drive location, name, and letter are all correct as listed in backup setup.
When I try to backup, I get the 'drive is unplugged' error.
When I try to 'manage backup', I get the 0x80080005 error.

Using the command prompt fixes noted above by CAVSFAN, way back in 2009, here are the results of the Administrative Command prompt entries and responses. AS there are so many errors within this process, I do not want to proceed until I get some input on the system responses to these commands.

If this problem has been resolved in the past 5-6 years, perhaps someone can enlighten me as to how to fix this so I can backup my system.
