I have configured my backup to start running at 9pm everyday. However today
when I got into the office at 9am I noticed that they were still running???
anyone know what this could be? I have also attached the error log file for

Looks like the backup completed but the verify is failing. The log shows
the verify of drive D's backup failed and I assume now it is hung verifying
whatever drive comes after D. I'd check your backup device - check free
space, do a chkdsk on it.

Also - what is F:New Volume in your backup? You're not trying to backup the
backup device are you? You must exclude it.

Al thank you for your response. You are correct the F: drive is where i want
things backed up to however it seems as if the backup configuration wizard
will not let me excluded it. When I try and select the folder to be excluded
it says: " This folder contains your backup files and cannot be removed from
the excluded folder list".

I hope this helps!

It should be excluded automatically IIRC when you run the wizard. Maybe
have a look at this, particularly the comments from MS support:

From: Larry Struckmeyer[SBS-MVP] on
the message apprears to say that the target folder is already excluded, which
is what you want. I also exclude that drive in its entireity, and also any
mapped or attached drives that have non essential data.
