Ntbackup error specified media not found & invalid drive & no acce

[Guest hmatthews]

Hello,

 

I have three servers that exist in a DMZ and I use the Kanguru data bank

(external hard drive) as the place to store the data. There are two drives

and I have 156GB free space on one drive and 212GB of free space on the

other; the file system is NTFS and it's attached via USB to server 1. Server

1's backups are running as they should for daily and weekly but server 2 & 3

are failing with the following issues.

 

Server 1 - Windows 2000 SP4 - has the Kanguru attached via USB and is

working correctly.

 

Server 2 - Windows 2003 SP2 - not running as scheduled and when I try to run

it manually it tells me that the destination is not valid or that I don't

have access. I have tried to run it today and I do get the error but it

doesn't show up in a log file. The last good log file was from 9.23.07.

 

Server 3 - Windows 2000 SP4 - not running as scheduled and when I try to run

it manually it tells me that the destination is not valid or that I don't

have access. I have run this today and I see a log file with today's date

that tells me that the specified media cannot be found. The last good log

file was from 9.23.07.

 

I am getting the following errors in the event viewer on the following

servers:

 

Server 2: source ntbackup 8019, 8000, 8001, 8018

Server 3: source ntbackup 8000, 8001, 8008, 8009

Actually I blew the scripts away and re-did them and they have worked

correctly since that time. If you have any advice I would appreciate it.

This isn't the first time that this has happened to me while using NTBackup.

Do the scripts fail after a reboot or logoff of account?
