From: Daniel on 4 May 2010 13:31 Hello Everyone, I have this interesting issue with an SBS2003 backing up to NAS (Lacie 2Big). This used to work perfectly fine, until recently: the performance report shows "backup: started but has not finished". At first I thought it just didn't finsish backing up by 6:00Am when the report is generated, but looking at NAS, there are no backups. I tried to start the backup from SBS console, the hour-glass comes on for cuple sec, but nothing happens. The event logs shows Event ID: 5632 "Small Business Server backup has started." and no errors. (if it was working I should see an NTbakcup process ). I recreated SBS backup, removed from task, resaved SBS backup script in NTbackup, restarted server etc.. , but still no joy. Interestingly enough if I start ntbackup and load up the sbs backup script: "small business backup script.bks" and run it, the backup works fine. Has anyone seen this issue before? or any suggestions? Thank you, Daniel
From: Cliff Galiher - MVP on 4 May 2010 19:17 Don't forget that the backup process runs under its own user context. Sounds like maybe a permissions issue and the NAS has recently seen some changes in that regard. -Cliff "Daniel" <Daniel(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5DE83223-DA99-45F5-8B84-B71F5E24881A(a)microsoft.com... > Hello Everyone, > I have this interesting issue with an SBS2003 backing up to NAS (Lacie > 2Big).

Thanks for posting Cliff. I did pay attention to permissions on NAS: Joined to AD and allowed Backup Operators, Domain Admins and Administrator (it worked before with these permissions). For testing purpose I allowed full public access to Backup Directory on NAS - no joy; and re-ran backup wizard with a different backup destination to a HDD volume, but still not working. A little bit more history on this server: SBS installation was migrated to a new HP Server using Acronis Universal Restore and everything worked OK for about a month, before backup started crapping up.
