I'm running windows 7 professional 32 bit on a brand new machine and I keep getting the above error code when using windows backup. I show a 998 GB C Drive and a 2 Gig D drive. The D drive is formatted in FAT32. I am also running Raid0 on the machine Have tried several time to use the backup function by get the same error code each time

where is located ur backups? in D? u cant backup ur system/files to a FAT32 partition because only support 4gb per file. Format the partition to a NTFS.I want to be a MVP! | Computer Technician

I want to be a MVP! | Computer Technician On top of that, it wouldn't work even when D was formatted in NTFS, because the D-drive is only 2GB large... you need at least around 10GB (preferably around 50GB) for a decent back-up, depending on how many programs are installed... RDIS didn't mention if he indeed used partition D for back-up, or an external drive.

Hi, If you backup your files to a none NTFS volume, you may encounter the error code 0x81000032 . To resolve this, please take the following steps: Step 1. Change the drive letter and drive name. 1) Click Start and type: diskmgmt.msc in the Search box. 2) Click on the diskmgmt.msc and press Enter. 3) Right Click the FAT32 volume and select “ Change Drive Letter and Paths”. 4) Assign a new letter to the volume. Example: L. 5) Right click the volume and click Properties. 6) Name it “System”. Step 2. Convert FAT32 to NTFS. 1) Click Start and type: CMD. 2) Right click on the CMD and click “Run as Administrator”. 3) Type the following command: Convert L: /fs: ntfs 4) When asked to give the volume name, type in “System”. Then backup your files again to see if the issue persists. Best Regards Dale

Best Regards Dale This is all very nice, but RDIS's volume D is too small to house a shadow volume copy, so, either the D-partition needs to be extended, or he/she needs to add an extra disk (preferably big enough to accomodate a shadow volume copy).
