thanks CraigV i've runt he B2Dtest tool and its all come back sucessful
I pointed it at my B2D drive where all my B2D media sit
15 tests
15 passed
I'm at BE2010 R3 Rev5204(64-bit)
if your saying that 1. The staging location will play no part in a backup, only a restore then how come i'm getting the failure message above on every backup of my exchange servers?
as i said above the backups run without an issue when backing up directly to Tape but fail when using B2D
I'm sure my backups are fine should i get into trouble but abviously i wont be able to make use of the GRT option and the most importatant issue is that my backups are coming back as failed every night?
anyone?
