ok it works now i change parameter on -targetbackup:F:

but it says me

 

"Log of files for which backup failed:

C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup\Backup_Error-....log

 

the operation ended before completion

the parameter is incorrect"

 

but the log file is empty.. what mistake is now ?

the command is:

 

wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backupTarget:f:

 

not:

 

wbadmin start systemstatebackup -TargetBackup:f:

oh i maybe know whats the problem.. backup has more than 10GB my F disk is only 2GB.. what all is backuped ? that create image of server or what LoL.. i though it backup only AD database..

ICTcity: oh thankyou i type it wrong but on the printscreen its right

Systemstate backup is a SYSTEM STATE BACKUP. So, 10GB are not too much...

 

anyway, take a look at this article:

if you want to be able to backup ONLY the AD, I think you should buy 3rd part software...

now i add 20GB disk which is enough but it failed anyway

Can you post the log?

 

Also... try the command with the UPPERCASE letter F... perhaps it helps...
