Could you file a bug on Connect, with logs from your server and the client that's failing to back up?
I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)- Marked as answer by Jonas Svensson -FST- Tuesday, June 22, 2010 3:48 PM

hmm, seems it was trying to backup the 100MB partition. I unchecked that and it fixed the problem.
I do have a different problem now though - the backup agent has twice now caused BSODs on my laptop (Vaio Z820G/B) - irql_not_less_or_equal is the status code.

Did you ever create a bug on this? I have a Windows 7 workstation that will not allow System Reserved to be backed up. I also have a SSD for my main system drive, maybe that has something to do with it? Has anyone successfully setup backups for a client with a SSD for the system volumes?Sunday, May 29, 2011 7:21 PM

I have no problem with WHS2011 RC and SSDs. In fact, it creates aligned partitions when restoring from an unaligned backup - important to get the maximum speed from your SSD. I have used it to change system disks on two W7 computers from HDD to SSD,Monday, May 30, 2011 2:16 AM

I have also a Windows 7 client with an SSD as system drive.
No errors that I know of in backups.
Haven't performed any kind of restore though.
