I have to say, I run NBU 5.1 on Win2k3 and to be honest, Win2k3 with NBU has
been more stable and reliable than on NT

To date, the last time the Server was ever rebooted was 72 days ago. - And
that was to apply a SP

I've had the exact same problem a couple of times before -- I had to reboot 
the master server to recover the ability to run restores.  However, I run 
NBU on Windows 2003 servers, so I have to reboot regularly anyway.   I've 
actually attributed it to too many simultaneous instances of the service 
that manages restores at one specific time, after which even one instance 
won't start properly -- the only way I can get it to return to normal is to 
restart all services at the Windows level (essentially rebooting).
