Hello,<br />
<br />
I was asked to check a SBS 2008 server. There is one strange thing. 50% of the backups are failing with error that a duplicate job is running. I noticed that the backup is configurred via the console, and also the same settings are in the Windows server backup ...is it possible that to create duplication issues ?<br />

Hello,

I was asked to check a SBS 2008 server. There is one strange thing. 50% of the backups are failing with error that a duplicate job is running. I noticed that the backup is configurred via the console, and also the same settings are in the Windows server backup ...is it possible that to create duplication issues ?

SBS 2008 Backup - strange issue

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
