Neither have worked. My USB drive is not support by WD on servers so I don't have much wiggle room on thier end. If it was me I would try the SATA card and see what you get. I have 4 hotfixes from MS on my box now and still don't have the issues resolved. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Miguel Gonzalez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 4:01 PM Subject: Re: Delayed Write Error while using ntbackup with USB drives in 2003 server > In my case is a SBS 2003 running Exchange.
