I configured a new Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2's Windows Small Business Server 2003 Backup to back up the server weekly. Sometimes the backup completes, but the last couple weeks the server reports the backup "failed." However, the backup looks to be completing, as it's over 200GB in size. Is the backup completing in a capacity it could be restored, or is something amiss? Here's the actual Windows Server Backup log for the supposedly "failed" backup:
