Dear Sir/Madam This is to inform you that we have an IBM Server with Windows Server 2008R2 Standard Edition Operating System. We are unable to take backup in our LTO-5 through Server Backup Manager. Kindly guide us the process to take backup through Server Backup Manager or through an alternative option present in the server. Regards Vishal Adukia 98306-24343 vishal@odysseygroup.co.in

Hi, Is Server Backup Manager the third-party backup software? Regards, Terry | My Blog: http://terrytlslau.tls1.cc This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Server Backup Manager is the inbuilt feature of Windows Server 2008R2 Standard Edition

Hi, The built-in Windows Server Backup doesn't support to store backup on tape. To back up on tape, you need to use System Center Data Protection Manager or third-party backup software.

You cannot store backups on tape. (However, support of tape storage drivers is still included in Windows Server 2008). Windows Server Backup supports backing up to external and internal disks, optical and removable media such as DVDs, and remote shared folders. For backup queries, better to discuss here. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/threads Thanks
