How select backup destination?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



SYSTEM: HP ML110 SBS 2003 with a Travan drive.
LOGFILE: Attached at the end of this post.
QUESTION: How do I change the destination to "Travan" while still using the
SBS backup utility?

BACKGROUND:
When I use the SBS Backup wizard the the backup fails to run. When checking
the log file I notice that the backup destination has been set to "miniQiC".

I don't know what miniQiC is but it is listed along with three other
destionation options in NTBACKUP (Travan, Ecrix VXA-1 and File). Thus, using
NTBACKUP I can choose my destination.

But how do I change the destination to "Travan" while still using the SBS
backup utilty?

The reason for using the SBS-utilty is that I want to limit the the backup
operators server access to the SBS Server management environment.

Greatfull for advise from the communty.
