Server 2003 running Symantec backup Exec 11d.
We are trying to backup exchange and a shared folder to a local external USB hard drive.
The backup's used to work, but suddenly they do not run anymore. They will actually run for days/weeks and I'll have to hit cancel on the jobs, the error it shows is -error - mount failed- operation aborted. There are no numbers or anything with any more information.
I have wiped the external hard drives and recreated the backup-to-disk folders ( one for exchange and one for the shared drive) and recreated the jobs.
The status for the backup-to-disk's folders are "Ready". I have not created any new media though ( not sure how to or if I need to).
Does anyone have any clue what could be wrong here? If someone could link me a step-by-step on backing up to a external usb HD for 11d that would be great as I cannot find anything, and I am sure I am missing something.
