Complete PC Backup Error code 0x800700iF

[Michael]

Has anyone had an error code 0x8007001F ("Device attached to the system is
not functioning") while trying to perform a complete PC backup with Windows
Vista. My Device Manager (expanded to show hidden devices) and a "system
diagnostic report" generated by Vista show no malfunctions yet the backup
program persists in reporting the error! Any suggestions?

Have you made backups to this device before or is this the first attempt?

Is the target drive a usb external device?

If so, consider applying the usb rollup hotfix from
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=941600. This rollup will be part of
service pack 1 due out in about a month. This rollup is addressed in a
response to a thread on a very similar problem discussed at
http://groups.google.com/group/[email protected]&lr=&hl=en
some months ago.
