[whaertling]

When trying to do a backup with windows7 I receive the following error code 0x81000037.
Following shows up in the event viewer:

Can anyone assist in resolving this problem?

I've never used Windows Backup so this isn't my forté, but while we wait for someone who knows what the hell they're talking about to show up, you could run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r to make sure the system files are OK and there are no bad sectors on the drive.

See Work-around to Issue 2 listed HERE by Microsoft.

Personally I think Windows Backup just has too many "issues" and I think you should consider an alternative product. Check out the Backup & Recovery section of our Freeware DB for other ideas.
