Hi, the original blog entry on the Technet page is very very misleading. It clearly says to call "Microsoft Support" but when you call them they know nothing about it because it is not yet officially listed on the Knowledge Base. They advise to call Technet as this is posted on a Technet blog. They refuse to help as I don't have a subscription but when I explained this post they asked me to hold while they checked it. When I came off hold I was magically back at Microsoft Support who again refused to help. I made them look at this page and then went on hold again. Eventually they told me that they weren't going to help because I didn't have a Technet subscription.

So this post should be corrected to say to call Technet and that you must have a subscription to get any help. I guess the fix will eventually be posted on the Knowledge Base but in the mean time the Backup Wizard does not work.

The Technet page won't even let me post a comment!!

No you do not.  You call.  You specifically TELL them that there is a hotfix out there and for them to look again that the KB article is not yet live but that the Hotfix IS out there.  If they say they can't find it you tell them to look up the SRX below where on July 19th I CLEARLY got the hotfix.

In order to post a comment on the blog you have to register is all.

But there IS a hotfix, it IS a free call, you need to be firm and insistent with the hotfix folks people but there IS a hotfix out there. You call product support services, not Technet by the way.  In the USA I call 1-800-936-4900.

And it's a free call.
