I am using a Toshiba HDWC130EW3J1 Stor.E Canvio 3TB USB 3.0 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive which is connected to a NAS as an additional drive.
can you confirm the error with the device directly attached to the backup server?
ASKER
There isn't anything that shows the error is with the device, as I have another incremental backup running to that device that has no problems.
are the jobs running in consecutive order? at what time?
ASKER
Yes they are running in consecutive order 19:15 & 21.45. The back that is throwing the error is run first.
please try to switch places in time so the backup that works is run first - if the first working backup now fails it looks like a hardware/connection issue.
if everything stays as it is it could be related to a software issue.
is the backup software up to date (hotfixes, etc)?

I switched the time schedule as suggested, but I have the same failed status.
Any suggestions?

My own answer
what kind of backup device / HDD are you using?
Could it be that at the time the job is scheduled, the HDD is in power-save mode and needs to spin up before data can be written on it?
this could explain that the programm thinks the resource is unavailable and fails with an error.
does the job fail at the start of the job or later on?
Regards
//Edit: furthermore - please expand the backup protocol and look at the details - i often find the general error information quite incorrect when it comes to troubleshooting
