Possible W2K3 SP1 Issue

I am running Backups from W2K Server with 8.6 but am having an issue backing up the Sys State on Server W2K3 SP1. I know from the forum that W2K3 does not support 8.6 but I do have a W2K3 Server (No SP) that is being backed up quite happily.

So I am wondering if SP1 is causing an issue somewhere.

Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

Have you ever tried a Disaster Recovery of a W2K3 Server?

You may get user data ok, but I'd be willing to bet that the system state will not restore properly, if at all

I've stopped trying to back up the Sys State and just copied the \SHARES key off to a dir and am backing that up. In DR it would come back as a W2K box. The report is still coming back failed, looks like it straight to 10 asap. It is strange that the Server without SP1 seems to be fine with 8.6.
