Cannot schedule backup on SBS 2008
|
From: Hart on 22 Jul 2010 23:23 Hi, I am trying to schedule backup on my new Small business server 2008 to an external drive, but it always give me error "Cannot configure backup schedule". Checking the SBCW.log file, and found the following errors. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? the size of the server I am trying to backup is only 60GB, and my empty external drive is 500GB. Thanks in advance!

This might not be it (so apologies in advance), but almost all the problems I've had with backup which haven't been obvious have all turned out to be permissions related. That said, all the hits on google didn't seem to point to this being permissions related: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=cannot+configure+backup+schedule Worth checking out the first few results at least. -- Brian Cryer http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian

From: Hart on 23 Jul 2010 15:21 Thanks a lot Brian! I did look into some of those posts, but did not anything that is suitable for my situation. However, through your link today I found one which could be possibly the cause: "The backup destination drive must be larger than the partition(s) that you want to back up (including freespace). " My backup drive is 500GB and my C partition is 750GB, with only 60GB data. So I will try to find a larger drive to test it out, or make C smaller if possible.

From: Hart on 23 Jul 2010 15:21 Yes, I tried both SBS console and Windows Server console, but both failed to schedule the backup. I guess only SBS console writes to the SBCW log file. I do not know where to look for logs from Windows server (for that, it failed when it tried to format the external drive). The SBCW log actually gave me some info: at the very beginning, basically I got two exceptions: "could not find the folder", and then "could not find the file". No specific names though. I searched online, and found someone mentioned a folder "Backup" under the "C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\" folder. So I manually added that folder. The error about folder in the log actually disappeared! I wonder whether putting a valid file "Small Business Backup Script.bks" under that folder could resolve the problem. Does anyone happen to have such file to share?
