I am using Windows 2008 SP2 on a server. Windows backup is scheduled to run every day, however it has been only successful for 1-2 times per week and failed in all the other days. Ran chkdsk on all backup target disks but found no problem.
The error message is "The system cannot find the file specified". Below are the details I copied from Event Viewer - Microsoft - Windows - Backup - Operational.
