I have the following in the backu log:

RSM Database cannot be backed up because the removable storage service is not running? Does this mean that I have not install a agent?

Start the RSM Service by following the instructions listed below:

1. Alternate (right) click on "My Computer"
2. Select "Manage"
3. Expand "Services and Applications"
4. Under "Services", double-click on "Removable Storage".
5. In Removable Storage Properties, change the Startup Type to "Automatic".

No disable the service and you should be good, there was a registry hack for this issue but i dont recollect, i am suprised Veritas has not responded so far on this issue ;),

SO just out of curiosity what is the role of this server ?
