I'm trying to setup Windows Backup to backup my laptop to a network attached storage drive. The backup runs for about an hour an then fails giving error code 0x8078015B.

When I checked the windows error log I find the entry I've listed bellow. Any one any idea how to resolve this? If I have to disable services one by one it could take me weeks to figure out what is causing the issue.

Are you backing up any remote shares?

This "0x8078015B - Error when accessing the remote shared folder" seems to be the only thing I can find with that error code along with a solution.

Hope it's of some use.

+1 I love it when people use my sites for reference! Hope the solution (delete your old backup before backing up) solves the problem. – tsilb Dec 7 '10 at 19:40
