Jake,

Removable storage is a tape drive, which you don't have. I have not used
tape in years, I backup to removable drives, even on servers. I also don't
use Wizard Mode. It's been some time since I set one up, but I believe if
you provide a location & file name in the "Backup media or file name:" box
on the Backup tab you won't get that message.

I would like to back up my hard drive using Backup (
start-accessories-system
tools). When I try this , I get message "cannot connect to Removable
Storage
Service. When I go to device manage and click removable storage I get
"Service cannot be started because it is it has no enabled devices
associated
with it. What does this mean and how do I enable it?
