See yesterday's postings regarding permissions. Some notes I have:
The simplest cause would be that the backup was attempted via the
scheduler and it was not restarted after a change to either the drives
complement or client options file, to know to back up that drive.
This normally is a permissions problem. Check the scheduler service via
control panel / services. See what account the service logs in as. If
it is the SYSTEM account, make sure that the drive has permissions for
the SYSTEM account. A lot of NT Administrators remove EVERYONE from the
permissions, which also prevents the SYSTEM account from being able to
do backups. Note that running the backup manually causes it to run
under your own account, so that may succeed whereas the scheduled backup
may fail.
Another reason could be that disks involved are part of the Microsoft
clustering environment. Have you included CLUSTERnode Yes in the
cluster.opt file for each logical node on the cluster?
And, the volume should really have a label.
