Kirb’s Musings

Kirby Witmer’s ponderings, ruminations, and meditations of… anything.

I am working on this Vista Business loaded Toshiba Laptop that has a problem backing up to a DVD. It would always fail and give an error, “The Parameter is incorrect.” ( 0×80070057 ). I couldn’t find to much help online, however I did find this potential resolution.  So far it seems to have fixed the problem.

This error is caused by a bug in File Backup where if you don’t back up at least one file during the full backup, every backup after that fails. The workaround is to go through the Backup wizard again and choose a new full file backup at the very end.
