hi all, I have a problem when running ntbackup on my windows 2003 server standard edition. I have searched the web and cannot find an answer, so I come to you guys.... When running ntbackup to Freecom Dat tape, 1. select small number of files - OK 2. select several GBs of files - Crash Get no message in error log. If I select Full Log, shows the file being backed up as not completing with no further info. I have purchased a new drive - no joy Updated driver files - no joy Purchased new tapes - no joy Seems that the server just won't back up 30/40 Gb of data to tape Help, my nut is getting worn out!!

You aren't trying to backup a live database with open files are you? Ntbackup will puke on open files.

No. No database on this server at all, just office docs and images.
