  Hi,
  
  Start - type in Search box -> Services  find at top of list - Right Click on - RUN AS ADMIN
  
  Double click on each of these and set as indicated L
  
  Windows Event Log      Started      Automatic
  
  Task Scheduler           Started       Automatic
  
  Windows Backup         Stopped      Manual
  
  Also Nod32 and other antivirus/antispyware/security products have been known to cause this issue.
  
  If you still have issues set ALL your services to the DEFAULTS as listed here :

  Hope this helps.

  Hi SpiritX,
  
  Thank you for your assistance with the error I am getting when trying to complete a backup.
  
  Unfortunately after following your advice the same error still exists.  I also set ALL services to the defaults as also suggested.
  
  Hopefully there is another remedy I could try to enable a backup to be completed.
  
  Thanks.

  Hi,
  
  Reboot and then look at the 3 services I posted above. Are they still set correctly or did they change back.
  Have you added any other backup software around the time this started, meaning a major program like
  Acronis.
  
  Here is a Google of that error and I am looking at altenatives, you might want to check those out too in case
  something rings a bell. A tip, a lot the hits offer scans and Registry Tools to fix this error which is totally hype
  and those will do more damage than anything else - registy cleaners do not fix this type (or many) errors
  and any company that claims it can is bogus.
  
  Search Google

  Not sure why anyone would try this :
  
  1. If you are backing up a laptop, make sure that the AC adapter is connected, backup will not start on
  battery power.
  
  2. Here is one suggesting an InPlace Upgrade :

  You can try an In-Place Upgrade (hopefully saves programs and data) or a repair installation (hopefully
  saves data and will have to reinstall programs). Be sure to do a good backup or three (ironic advice
  from me since backup is the issue here - this is my generic how to).
  
  You can use another's DVD as they are not copy protected however you will need you own Product Key.

  If nothing works you can do a repair installation which should save data however you will have to
  reinstall programs. This also requires the correct Vista disks especially for OEM versions. You will
  need to know your Product Code.
  
  This tells you how to access the System Recovery Options and/or from a Vista DVD
