Why is my SBS backup failing?
The goal I am trying to accomplish is:
On Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 1 AM, I want to back up to drive G.
On Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday at 1 AM, I want to back up to drive F.
I have 2 different schedule tasks setup to do this. Both drive G and drive F are external drives connected by USB. This had worked previously. I am using the NT backup utility that came with the SBS.
My backups have constantly been failing. It doesn't matter if it's scheduled or manually started. This is my latest SBS backup log of a manual backup. Any ideas or suggestions?

The shadow copies of volume G: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time. Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied.
