Removable Storage service won’t start

by welshsteve76 . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

I have looked on this site for an answer but cannot find a solution.

For some reason the “Removable Storage” service has stopped on the server (Windows 2003) causing NT Backup to stop detecting the tape drive, and therefore stopping me doing the daily backups. I tried restarting it, but it starts then stops and gives the below error message.

“The Removable Storage service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service.”

I checked what dependencies the service has, and the only one is Remote Procedure Call, which is started and seemingly working anyway.

Is anybody able to assist at all?
