Backup Problem with HP DAT72 USB drive using NTBackup

Asked by hckynt in Backup & Restore Software, Removable Backup Media, Storage Technology

Tags: Microsoft, Server 2003, Standard Edition, SP2, HP, Backup Drive, DAT72 USB, Driver Version: 1.5.3.2

I am trying to setup my backups using NTBackup (I find HPs software cumbersome at best) and the backups are not running.  When I run the backup I get the following error in the log file, "Cannot locate the specified media or backup device. This backup operation will terminate".  The events IDs that show up are:
7035: The Removable Storage service was successfully sent a start control.
7036: The Removable Storage service entered the running state.
98: RSM was stopped.  And then finally,
7036: The Removable Storage service entered the stopped state.
My understanding is that NTBackup will just overwrite any media present so I doubt that is the problem.  I can also see the drive is enabled under libraries and it also shows up in device manager (without the exclamation point).  Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks!Start Free Trial
