Error Codes list for Microsoft technologies

When we troubleshoot backup issue, especially system state backup, backup program normally return a Microsoft error code.  For example, in NetWorker, you may get an error like

"ASR System Files - AsrCreateStateFile failed - 0x80080005"

(By the way, if you get this error for system state backup, most likely a reboot will fix it)

To find out what it means, there is a Symantec kb "Error Codes list for Microsoft technologies" listing the MS error codes.

Over the weekend, I got an alert about System State backup on Windows 2000. Error is 0x00000070.  It complains there is not enough space.  Confirm by rdp to the box and only 3 MB available on the system drive.  An old Windows 2000 box waiting to be retired.
