I have 1 hard drive which  has 2 partitions. The "D" drive is where I store my data. The backup will not backup the har drive. It comes back with this error message:

Backup started on 3/30/2008 at 11:36 PM.

Error: The device reported an error on a request to write data to media.
Error reported: Invalid command.
There may be a hardware or media problem.
Please check the system event log for relevant failures.
The operation was ended.
Backup completed on 3/31/2008 at 12:31 AM.
Directories: 1473
Files: 7145
Bytes: 19,223,431,630
Time:  54 minutes and  29 seconds
Error: D: is not a valid drive, or you do not have access.
 
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Glenn,
 
sounds like permissions or you're trying to write your backup file to the drive you're trying to backup?
 
I'm no expert but if you run the backup wizard from within SBS2003 it should automatically put all the correct settings in place for you (If you're doing this already then please forgive me stating the obvious).
 
hope you get it sorted

But I can write to the drive (saved a notebook file there this morning with no problem). The "D" drive is my data drive and my "F" drive is my external hard drive.

Hi Glenn,
 
Is the log file always looking like this? Have you excluded F completely from the backup? Are you running AV on the server?
