Hello folks,
I am having a problem with Windows system state backup on a Windows Server 2008 SP2 Standard edition, 64bit.
Every time the I run Windows system state backup with the command "wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backupTarget:D: -quiet" it runs fine, but it fails at 98%...

Summary of backup:
------------------
Backup of system state failed [24/10/2014 12:53]

'C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup\SystemStateBackup 24-10-2014 11-54-12.log'

Copy of the files failed.
The handle is invalid.

The error from file "C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup\SystemStateBackup_Error 24-10-2014 11-54-12.log" is always the same:
"Error in backup of D:\\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy8 during read: Error [0x80070006] The handle is invalid."
In the Application log I can see this error "Backup started at '24/10/2014 10:54:12' failed with following error code '2155348238' (Copy of the files failed.). Please rerun backup once issue is resolved."
I ran check disk and I didn't find any problems.
I checked VSS writers and there doesn't seem to be any problem.

Unfortunatelly the errors are very vague and I was not able to find anything helpful on the internet so far.
Has anyone faced similar problems? I am interested if there is any fix for this. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
