Hello,
I am running the built in SBS 2003 backup script that uses NTBACKUP. I
had the below problem for quite some time now. The whole backup appears to
work except for the last step. See log below. Any suggestions people ?

Thanks !

Tony,

I had the same problem and I found that my system drive was getting filled
up with shadow copies. Although I had plenty of free space on the tape
drive, the system drive only had about 900Mb on it, so I guess it couldn't
hold whatever it needed to hold which was probably another shadow copy
backup. :> Clean out your old shadow copies from the drives (especially
the C:\ drive) and then "Backup Now" to see if it works. To remove the
shadow copies right click for properties of each drive and choose the Shadow
Copy tab. You can disable, change the size of and/or delete old shadow
copies.

Good luck. Let us know if this fixes it as I've seen many people with
error. I had it myself on two servers.

Eric
