Re: backup and restore pgm error 0x8000ffff

0x8000FFFF usually represents "generic" failures for which the program is not
able to identify the exact cause at the time the failure occurs. If you could
send me the etl files under C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsBackup I could try to find
out what the problem is.
