Backup to Removable Disk: Physical Volume Not Found

Hi guys,

When I try to setup up a Removable Disk Backup (to replace tapes), all runs fine except each day the Backup Exec services on the server have to be restarted for it to find the USB drive.

This is very well while I set it up but I don't want to do this for several servers all the time!

Am I missing something?

Thanks

George

No, you are not missing anything! We look after a number of sites that use Backup Exec 12.5 and we have had to create a script to stop and start the services before the backup runs to pickup the correct drive! It was sooooo much easier with tapes!!

Are you using each removable disk as a different drive letter? How do you catalogue the hard drives on a different server (in the event of a fire for example where a server is destroyed, the catalogue option for hard drives doesn't seem to be there!). Do you have problems with the IMG folders not overwriting?
