I cannot get my Windows 2003 server to backup the stystem state successfully.
Here is what I get in the job log:

Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0x8004230f.

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:8004230f
Aborting Backup.

Any thoughts?

Here is a note I picked up recently from a different thread on
the same subject. It appears that it is the result of the OP's
session with the Microsoft Helpdesk. I paste it here as I found
it - I cannot comment on it in any way.
===========================
Ran:- vssadmin list writers and could see all the writes but
when tried to take system state backup, it failed with an error.

Followed an internal article and ran
Net stop vss
Net stop swprv
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
Vssvc /Register
regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 vssui.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Reinstalled COM+
1. Backup and then delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\COM3
2. Boot to Recovery console and rename clbcatq.dll to ~clbcatq.dll.
3. Boot to normal mode and in Control Panel, open the Add or Remove Programs
tool,
and then open the Add/Remove Windows Components tool.
Checked DCOMCNFG and red down arrow on Computer
2. Distributed Transaction coordinator is running and started.
3. Followed Q315296 How to clean up a damaged COM+ catalog
4. Errored again with: "sub-component Com+ raised an exception" 0x8007041b
5. Stopped the System event Notification serivce and attempted to reinstall
Com+ again
6. This time it was successful
7. Created a Shadow Copy on C:\ and that was successful
8. Attempted the System State backup of the server to C:\ Successful

It would appear that most of this infomation is related to Windows 2000
Server. I have Windows 2003.

I recently ran across this problem as well recently. Pegasus is correct, but
I think there are some missing steps. Here is my resolution. Give this a
try and let me know how this turn out.

1. Click Start > Run, type CMD

2. In the Command Prompt, type following commands in sequence

Cd %systemroot%\system32

Net stop vss
Net stop swprv
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
Vssvc /Register
regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 vssui.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll

3. Close the Command Prompt and try backup again
