Re: Windows Server 2008 Backup

I have this exact same issue trying to backup to a removable hard drive. It
backs up perfectly when doing a manual backup but I can't schedule a backup
because of the No Disks are Available error at step 5.

When I complete Step 5, I get the msg "No disks are available for use as
backup destination". When I run the regular backup option I get the screen
mentioned in Step 6.

Hello KenP,

Used disks for backup in server 2008 are made hidden, check this way if you
can see it:

When I run the local backup or specific backup option, the local
drives window appears with all the available drives present. For
instance, the C, D, E drives and the removable media I'm actually
using for the backup. The removable media is an Iomega REV drive. The
local and specific backup works just fine and gives me the local and
removable devices as backup options. The message I get when I run the
scheduled backup and have selected the files to back up is that there
are no local drives to back up the files to.

Hello KenP,

Please post the complete error message. How many drives do you have?

I installed Windows Server Backup and have the following situation:

When I run anything but scheduled backup, I am provided a window
showing local devices to back up the files to. When I select
Scheduled Backup and select the files to be backed up, I get an
error msg stating there is no local drive to back the files up to
instead of the Local Drive option screen. I've tried it several
times and can't seem to figure out what is going wrong.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

KenP
