I recently reinstalled Windows SBS 2003. I got a couple of clean backups
right away, and for one reason or another I had to do a system recovery, so I
did it back to the first backup I got when I had a clean computer. I have
gotten one clean backup since then. but now when I try to backup my SBS 2003
Server using the backup tool in server management, the backup fails. The log
file entry is listed
below.

everything else seems to work just fine, what can I do to correct this
problem?
