I'm having intermitent errors using NTBACKUP.EXE on a Windows 2003 SBS SP1
server.
This seems to be well covered in MS Article: 817688
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;817688
I previously applied this patch, but having installed SP1 the problem has
returned. I tried to re-apply the patch, but the hotfix package detected
SP1 and wouldn't install.
The article has the following file information
Date Time Version Size File name
--------------------------------------------------------------
31-Mar-2003 19:15 5.2.3790.2 1,167,872 Ntbackup.exe
My SBS SP1 server has NTbackup version lower than this patch, although the
modified date is later.
Date: 24/3/2005 version of 5.2.3790.1830
The error logged is:
Error: The device reported an error on a request to write data to media.
Error reported: Bad data.
There may be a hardware or media problem.
Please check the system event log for relevant failures.
The operation was ended.
Backup completed on 04/12/2005 at 23:19.
Directories: 8211
Files: 77579
Bytes: 62,726,932,259
Time: 1 hour, 58 minutes, and 4 seconds
Error: D: is not a valid drive, or you do not have access.
I've done all the usual routine maintenance activities, changed tapes, used
a cleaning tape, checked for tape drive driver updates.
The server is a HP DL380 with a HP (Quantum) SDLT tape drive.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ian
