Hi Damon
I am experiencing the exact problem(s) you are having;Error: The device reported an error on a request to write data to media.
Error reported: Unknown error.;have been for a month or two now.
I have been looking for solutions all over the web and no luck. I am glad to have stumbled across someone with the same problem.
Anyway, i am having the same(exact) problem you are having, as i mentioned earlier. However, in my situation the backups succeed on certain days - random days, at an irregular pattern. But the backups fail more than they succeed; 6-2 ratio.
I was wondering if perhaps the problem might be with the source hard disk; fragmentation in particular? The thing is, i used defragmenter to analyze the exchange server(source) hard disk and i sicovered that 17GB of contiguouse disk space are fragmented - i can't defrag them neither even though there is sufficient disk space remaining for defragmenter to operate.
What i don't get is how come the backup(s) occur(s) without any problems on cartian days, but then fails agian(most of the time)? What could be different on the days on which the backup(s) succeed to the the days on which the backup(s) don't succeed?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817688 - perhaps the hotfix might help you. It did me no good.
Any luck with trying to replace the network cables and switch? Please let me know. I really need help and must get the bakcups running.
By the way, i am a home school student. I work 8am to 5/6pm and self-study at home. I work at a college. I am doing my MCSE - recently passed my 70-270 exam and i am an MCP(Whooooo!!!!!). Not bad for a youngster.
But please help!!!!!!! Anyone.
