RE: Backup Fails: "C: is not a valid drive or you do not have access"



Hi Daniel

Since we are able to backup to a network share that would tell us that
NTBackup is working.

I would suggest making sure that the firmware on your tape device is the
most recent available from Exabyte along with the drivers for this device.
You should also ensure that the drivers for the SCSI adapter are fully up
to date.

Thanks

| Hello Everybody,
|
| On a SBS2k3 Premium backup was failing before due to an Exchange
corruption,
| that was fixed with: Eseutil /P Eseutil /D Isinteg -fix -test
alltests.
|
| Now the backup fails while backing up C: drive. In the event logs I get
| event 8001 and 8019, however the Exchange database is on D: drive ( I
tried
| to backup excluding system state or Exchange database but I get same
error).
|
| "Error: The device reported an error on a request to write data to media.
| Error reported: Hardware failure.
| There may be a hardware or media problem.
| Please check the system event log for relevant failures.
| The operation was ended.
| Backup completed on 2/19/2007 at 10:06 AM.
| Directories: 322
| Files: 1896
| Bytes: 221,573,436
| Time: 1 minute and 23 seconds
|
| Error: C: is not a valid drive, or you do not have access."
|
| If I backup using NTbackup I get same errror, however if I backup to a
file
| on a second server that works OK
|
| The tape backup is an Exabyte VXA-3, tried to uninstall, reinstall but
same
| error message.
|
| Has anyone encountered this problem before? or do you have suggestions?
| Your input is much appreciated.
|
| Cheers,
| Daniel
