Hi,


Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand you receive the following error
event log on your SBS Server:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: ESENT
Event Category: Logging/Recovery
Event ID: 215

First of all, would your please collect the following info for further
analysis.

Do you have CA installed on the SBS server?

Would you please verify the backup by restoring it to a test system?

I think this issue is most caused by that you have installed Certificate
Authority (CA) on the SBS server. Furthermore only if the backup is
actually successful, the event error itself can be safely ignored.

Actually, our develop engineer has noticed this issue that 215 event is
logged after you installed CA on the SBS server. However, this event does
not mean there is issue on the SBS server if the backup has been
successfully finished. As the research result, there is no any side effect
on this error event in this situation. So, it can be safely ignored.

You could take a deeper look of the backup log to ensure everything is fine.

The Backupxx.log files in the folder 'C:\Documents and Settings\SBS Backup
User\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data'.

The Sbsbackuplog0x.log files which can be located under the folder
'%sbsprogramdir%\Support\Backup Logs'.

I appreciate your time and cooperation. If you have any other concerns and
need more help, please feel free to let me know.

Have a nice day!

Best Regards,

Chace Zhang (MSFT)
