Tape and DB Engine Shut Down

[RayRedSox]

I created a new backup job to back up our Exchange Server. It gets about 20 minutes into the backup and the tape and db engine both shut down, it loses connectivity and stops the job. Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

Probably two problems look for database corruption and device configuration issues. What errors are received in the activity log when the engines stop ?

Does it happen if you backup something other than Exchange?

I just noticed that this past Friday, I was doing a Full backup and it failed because the Database Engine was shut down. If I go restart the DB Engine and run my backup it seems to be fine.
