SBS Backup and RSM

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



OK...I continue to have issues with the scheduled SBS backup...and the
Removable storage manager.

On 2 seperate machines\site.

The only thing similar is they both have SBS sp1 installed, use vxa2 tape
drive (on the HCL)...and are Dells...one has dual xeaons, one has a P4, both
have raid 5.

The only way I can get the backups to run...is to log into the server and
using the RSM...mark the drive as clean. Then the SBS backup will run.

I have resigned to the fack not to use the SBS backup anymore and will use a
scheduled NT backup.

Does anyone have a link to the files needed to perform a full system\data
backup of the SBS.

What files to skip...etc etc.

I thank the forum for all its information given previously...most of the
hotfixes wont install...as they are already installed.

I feel this is a problems with the OS software...particularty the RSM....and
not hardware related at all.

Too bad the only answer I have come across is to not use tape backup...well
if MS SBS 2003 is not compatible with tape back up then they should remove
all devices from thier fricken HCL!!
