> Any more ideas? The problem happens with rootmdm.sys every time.
More info:
- Renamed rootmdm.sys to rootmdm-old.sys (had to disable windows file
protection first to do this which in xp sp2 is a bit of a pain, but I
got there in the end) in drivers and dllcache.
- With windows file protection disabled, the system state backup works.
However, it only backs up a 1/4 of the files, presumably because with
the wfp disabled, it is the equivalent of asking ntbackup not to backup
files protected by the system? Anyway, i digress...
- I reenabled file protection and rebooted and tried again. It still
crashed, but this time, the file it bombed out on rndismpx.sys instead.


Now interestingly, rndismpx.sys is the file that comes exactly before
rootmdm-old.sys in the file system when ordered alphabetically! So,
does ntbackup have a limit on the number of files it can back up when
backing up the system state?
