Backup-to-disk configuration question

by otaku_lord . Updated 16 years, 2 months ago

OK, here is the setup:

Full backup to tape on weekends.
Differential backup to disk on weekdays.

I have been tasked with moving the backup-to-disk folders to a new server that has a lot more space on it than the current device.

I have created the folders on the new servers. I have gone into “Devices” and added the folders as Backup-To-Disk entries.

Each backup job is run to a device pool consisting of the native server and a remote server folder. I removed the original BTD folders from the remote server and added the newly created folders to the device pool for each job accordingly.

When I procede to the testrun, the jobs fail stating: “Warning: Unable to reasonably detect which device this job will run to. Different possible outcomes depending on which device this job runs to. Please target a specific device to avoid this conflict.”

I have checked the settings on the original, remote drive folders and see nothing different in the properties of either set.

If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate the input.
