| Hi,I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm having problems using backup in Enterprise Manager, the backup continually fails and points to a hardware problem. However, I have been able to backup files using different software to tape which rules out hardware. I'm trying to create a new backup device incase the problem lies there but I receive the error 'error15061: Add device request denied. A physical device named '%s' already exists'Any ideas?Cheers |

| Hardware is not ruled out just because you can backup to tape using different software. Did you check if the backup device exists already? How does using a backup device fix the issue?Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Database maintenance routines:http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2004/07/02/1705.aspx |
