What happens when you manually start a backup?

Generally, every time I have had issues like this, it has been a bad
tape or a bad drive.

Maybe check for new drivers and see if they make a diagnostic app for
your drive.

If it's been find and nothing has changed, chances are it's a hardware
problem.

Subject: [windows2000] Issues with NTBackup

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?
