Mr. Backup setup Wizard? Can you dump me to a log file please?

So I was rerunning the backupwizard to change to a new storage location here at home and I got this.... An unexpected error occurred (80070057) at the end of the configuration wizard.  Okay, I say, I'll just go find the backup wizard log... where is that again?

So I know that Eriq Neale's blog has the locations..but Mr. Wizard? Can't you just dump be over to this area rather than have me dig for it?

Hmmm.. based on a google it says I might need a hotfix but I think... I think that hotfix is in SP1?  Weird it won't let me modify the mail and file retention.  I have EXACTLY this problem but I don't know the resolution.  I'll keep you posted and post back with a resolution.

I just checked with the office server and I can run the wizard through that section just fine, but not this server.

I'll keep you posted what I find...

btw...this is on the home server where I'm getting ready to swing over to a new server... wouldn't you know it...

The backup log you show in the post is linked to from the backup snap-in, you don't have to go digging for it. The other log, which is actually wizard operation, not backup operation, is in %sbsprogramdir%\support. Is this error not oulined in the backup white paper?

Receiving 80070057 when trying to run Backup Wizard on SBS2K3 SP1 server (also on Modify Storage for Deleted Files and E-mail). Clicked on TrackBack link above but it didn't resolve properly. Cleaned up link and it still didn't work (also cleanup of URL). Looking for a resolution to this issue for client. Any help you can provide re:I got my backup wizard back is greatly appreciated. Looks like you've been down the same road in the past. Thanks, Karen
