Excuse the cross post... We are having a problem with our nightly backups. Win2K file server NTBackup running "Normal" backups only Backing up various partitions on 10 servers through mapped drives. Overland Storage single tape unit This has been running fine for quite sometime, but in the last week we have had NTBackup stop in the middle of the backup for no apparent reason. The message in the backup log is always; The network disk drive has stopped responding. Backup set aborted. For Example- Backup started on 7/20/2004 at 1:09 AM. The network disk drive has stopped responding. Backup set aborted. Backup completed on 7/20/2004 at 1:17 AM. Directories: 112 Files: 3317 Bytes: 100,031,918 Time: 7 minutes and 41 seconds I am not aware of any changes to this server. I have recreated all of the backup jobs and power cycled the backup unit. I have searched on both the MS site and Googled for the "The network disk drive has stopped responding. Backup set aborted." and only managed a single hit for the exact phrase and that was for an NT4 box from 1995. I have checked the Event Viewer and only see the standard 8000 and 8001 messages. I tried to run a manual backup for the two servers not backed up last night and received the same message. Has anyone run into this before or have suggestions?
