Backup (via shadow copy) of "F: New Volume"
Backup set #3 on media #1
Backup description: "SBS Backup created on 3/1/2007 at 10:00 PM"
Media name: "Small Business Server Backup (03).bkf created 3/1/2007 at 10:00
PM"

Backup Type: Normal

Backup started on 3/2/2007 at 4:07 AM.

Error: The device reported an error on a request to write data to media.
Error reported: Invalid command.
There may be a hardware or media problem.
Please check the system event log for relevant failures.
The operation was ended.

Looking at this part of the log, it appears you did not EXCLUDE the F:
drive (your backup device) from the SBS Backup wizard's file selection
list. In other words, you are attempting to backup F: to itself.
