Thank you guys for your answers.
No, the point is simply the following.
I must firstly say that I have a SBS2003 premium installation and
that I actually use ntbackup with backupassistant. The latter is a
piece of software by Cortex I.T., an Australian based company and it
is basically a sort of enhancement for ntbackup.
I requested an internet friend of mine to have a look to my
installation just to verify if everything was ok.
She found that the backup page in server manager didn't show up
properly and also the backup wizard didn't work and suggested me to
remove and reinstall ntbackup, running SBS setup again.

I'm not sure how you do this, sorry. However, a few questions:

1. Can you launch/run NTBackup on its own?
2. Can you run a test job with NTBackup alone?
3. When you installed the server to begin with, did the SBS Backup stuff
show up in Server Manager?
4. Are you actually having any problems doing backups with NTBackup and your
add-in software? Have you done any test restores?


This is the reason that lead me to do all what I described in my
previous message.
So I am looking for a second opinion on what I was suggested to do.
Putting things in another way, either I didn't understood what she
said either the suggestion was highly appoximate.
So, here I am.
Thank you for your time, best regards.

Hello.
Please I would like to receive information about this.
I've read that I can uninstall ntbackup from a SBS 2003 SP1
installation by doing the following, but instruction were incomplete:
click on control panel / install applications / add remove programs
/ small business server 2003; this makes the sbs installation wizard
start; go on untill you reach a window where you can choose which
component to install / maintain / remove.
There you change server tools to maintenance and then? There I can't
find any option specifically regarding ntbackup but an option to
remove administration tools (and more options regarding network,
intranet site, monitoring, client distribution, exchange server and
fax). Should I set it to remove and this will remove ntbackup
altoghether or am I missing something?
