Can't backup using SBS wizard
Hi Guys,
We've been using the SBS wizard to backup data and it's been running fine for years until the last month or so when I've been having to run ntbackups manually as the SBS scheduling backup isnt working.
There's enough space on the tape drive (AIT1) for the information that needs backing up but it only seems to be completing around 7 to 9 (ish) GB of data before it stops and ejects the tape. I've had a look and checked for solutions from other people with similar problems but to no avail!
Any help is much appreciated - here is the latest log:

It looks like your tape is filling up. Never go by Compressed size because files nowadays are pretty comressed nativly and so you wont get much space made on the tape. SBS cannot use more than 1 tape for backup, so either change your tape drive, backup less, or use Windows Backup.
