Hi

I am running W2003 SBS and use Retrospect to back up to external Lacie Firewire drives to back up on a nightly basis. I have a 2 port lacie PCI firewire card. This system has been working fine for the last 6 months.

Since I had occassion to attatch 2 drives last week I have had problems with drive detection. It seems to be a sporadic problem and is often solved by re booting the server but this is far than stisfactory. When I do manage to get it recognised and go through the correct procedure fo removal I still have problems when I try to reconnect.

Should I reinstall the firewire card or is their a sequance of checks I can complete.

Thanks - Tristram
