I support a developer who has Windows Server 2008 R2 and who is attempting to run Windows Server Backup V1.0. Manual backups work without any problems. For about two weeks automated backups worked but now whenever we attempt to schedule a backup, we receive the error “Windows Server Backup: The system cannot find the path specified.” We’ve been picking the backup drive from the list of available drives which Windows Server Backup provides. We have tried storing the backup on two different USB drives and onto a location on a server. We also tried running the scheduled backup from the command prompt but always received that same “Windows Server Backup: The system cannot find the path specified” error. We are logged in as an administrator. We have tried dedicating the external drive to backups and having it not dedicated. Windows Server Backup is able to find the drive to format it but cannot find the drive to back up. The destination drive is formatted NTFS and the total size to be backed up is about 200 gig. Any ideas?
