Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / November 2003Backup Issue
Interesting Situation...Running SBS 2000. I recently did a check on the backup logs; BACKUP - TOOLS - REPORT; and found that the only log I have is from 10-24-03. Unless I overlooked something, I thought that this was the place to check the status of a backup job. So I looked under the scheduled jobs and looked at the properties; everything seemed fine. The only change that I can think that was most recently done was the Administrators password was changed on 10-29; that should not have caused the backup log to go away...? I also moved back the backup time by 1/2 hour on 11-28 and updated the login password. Questions 1; Is this server being backup and the logs are not visable? Q2; If it is not being backed up should I delete the scheduled jobs and start a new one? Q3; other options? Thanks in advance! I'd also check the event log and see if your backup is failing. -kw > Interesting Situation...Running SBS 2000.

Did you use the administrator account to schedule the backups? If so, I'm thinking you need to change the password for the scheduled backup routine whenever you change the administrator password.

That was my thinking, but I changed the password on a Tuesday night and the Monday before is missing also.. I updated the scheduled job Friday and there is not log for Friday's job...at least not in the BACKUP-TOOLS-REPORT.. Any other thoughts? >-----Original Message----- >> The only change that I can think [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> new one? Q3; other options? >> Thanks in advance! Do a search on the server for backup??.log (there should be 10 of these if everything is working properly). The default location (if using the Administrator's account for scheduling backups) is: <system root>\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data There should also be listings in the Event Viewer...Application Logs, with a source of "ntbackup" to show when the backup started and when it ended. If there were any errors, they may also show up in the event logs. If this still doesn't point to the problem, create a separate small backup (just a folder or two) and schedule it to run 10 minutes from now. Log off and then see what happens.
