The HP Ultrium 1-SCSI SCSI Sequential Device [Tape drive] is connected to the
LSI Logic PCI-X Ultra320 SCSI Host Adapter.
SQL runs on it's own volume D: (HP LOGICAL VOLUME SCSI Disk Device (73.37 GB)
-- drive 2).
The Data files for the database are on volume J: (HP LOGICAL VOLUME SCSI Disk
Device (513.62 GB) -- drive 0) or volume R: (HP LOGICAL VOLUME SCSI Disk Device
(1027.47 GB) -- drive 5) and the log files for all the databases are on volume
L: (HP LOGICAL VOLUME SCSI Disk Device (733.91 GB) -- drive 4).
SQL backups are stored on volume S: (HP LOGICAL VOLUME SCSI Disk Device (733.91
GB) -- drive 6).
S:, L:, and R: are on one Storage Array 30. S: has 6 SAS Drives at 10k RPM, L:
has 6 SAS Drives at 10k RPM, R: has 8 SAS Drives at 10k RPM. All are RAID 5.
J: in on it's own Storage Array 30. J: is RAID 1+0 with 20 SAS Drives at 15k
RPM.
D: is on the same BUS as C: and both are mirrored 73Gb 15k RPM SAS Drives.
SQL reports no errors creating the backup and a restore of the backup file is
completed daily to a report database to verify the .bak file on the S: is good.
Running NTBackup with the Tape Drive or the USB drive (W:) gets the same
NTBackup errors:

I think it may have something to do with the volume shadow copy???

David,
Can you explain in detail your setup as far as hardware is concerned, such as
HBA, Drive etc?
I just went through *many* months of pain with the same issues.
