Backups Failing

[Tom91]

Hi,

I have a problem where the server (2012) is using Windows Backup, but will only successfully complete a backup if it has been rebooted the previous day, it will then backup successfully for a few days but then stop again.

I have looked in the logs and it seems that it starts and completes pretty much 2 minutes apart but there is nothing in the Messages section where you can see if it has backed up. Any ideas? I'm backing up to a USB hard disk, and is scheduled every night.

does the hard disk still show as mounted as ive had 2012 drop drives over time causing backups to fail (granted it was vhd files on nas boxes/other pcs but the vhd just went from disk manager and sometimes wouldnt reload until id rebooted the nas

Nope it stays mounted, can always see it in disk manager and have also had it given a drive letter so I can see it in Explorer.

Can you post the error\log\message?

Is this a physical backup server or hosted in a virtual environment??
