The 4 documents they refer to in the link V-79-57344-33967 do not really apply for us. We are using DFS however and one of the 4 articles mentions to exclude the directory \\*\*\DO_NOT_REMOVE_NtFrs_PreInstall_Directory\ which I've done but it made no difference, probably since nowhere in the errors it refers to the actual directory that it cannot find.

The error mentions "directory was not found" 4 times, does that mean it's missing 4 directories?

Please help, is there any way I can find out what directory it cannot find. I've been fighting with this issue for several months now and we can't seem to figure it out.

We're backing up 4 servers with this one job, and all I can find out from the error log is on which server it has this problem with, FYI this server runs Exchange 2003 SP1.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this.

Thanks!
