Windows Server 2008 Backup

I installed Windows Server Backup and have the following situation:

When I run anything but scheduled backup, I am provided a window showing
local devices to back up the files to. When I select Scheduled Backup and
select the files to be backed up, I get an error msg stating there is no
local drive to back the files up to instead of the Local Drive option screen.
I've tried it several times and can't seem to figure out what is going wrong.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello KenP,

Please post the complete error message. How many drives do you have?

Re: Windows Server 2008 Backup

When I run the local backup or specific backup option, the local drives
window appears with all the available drives present. For instance, the C, D,
E drives and the removable media I'm actually using for the backup. The
removable media is an Iomega REV drive. The local and specific backup works
just fine and gives me the local and removable devices as backup options. The
message I get when I run the scheduled backup and have selected the files to
back up is that there are no local drives to back up the files to.

Re: Windows Server 2008 Backup

Hello KenP,

Used disks for backup in server 2008 are made hidden, check this way if you
can see it:

Re: Windows Server 2008 Backup

When I complete Step 5, I get the msg "No disks are available for use as
backup destination". When I run the regular backup option I get the screen
mentioned in Step 6.

Re: Windows Server 2008 Backup

I have this exact same issue trying to backup to a removable hard drive. It
backs up perfectly when doing a manual backup but I can't schedule a backup
because of the No Disks are Available error at step 5.
