+Byt Subscriber¹ Posted April 22, 2012 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hey All, Got abit of a weird one here, Im trying to create a backup schedule job in Windows Server Backup on SBS 2011 however i keep getting a error "The file cannot be created as it already exists", the backup job did work in the past because i tested it at my office. When i moved the server to the clients office, tested the backup and it failed because of a VSS issue, thats in the screenshots below, and ever since then i cannot re-create a schedule job. Here are some screenshots... I did have two identical USB Hard Drives plugged into the server at the same time because i want Windows Backup to use both of them, that way we can keep one off site and on plugged into the server, then alternate them each couple of days. Would this have caused it? All other programs seem to be backing up OK, i have an online backup which ran last night without issue and a directory syncronizer to a network drive which ran ok to. Any help or advice would be great, i really wouldnt know where to start here! Cheers x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Byt Subscriber¹ Posted April 23, 2012 Author Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 23, 2012 Update - i think this might be a problem with Task Scheduler as ive tried to edit a task and it said something regarding the current scheduled task being tampered with?

Dan~ Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hmm interesting. Try stopping or restarting the task scheduler to see if you can remove or edit the task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olger901 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Most likely a high I/O problem or disk problem. Have you checked all disks for errors (using chkdsk) and bad sectors (incl. backup medium)? Has any new software that could be I/O intensive been installed recently? Have you simply tried a reboot? What kind of backup medium are you using? Are there any other tasks being run at the same time to the destination disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
