I have come to find that Server2012 and Server 2008R2 will not back up directly to my removable media (RD1000) I have to share the drive then backup to a network share to get it to work. Is there some setting I can check to make this easier? I'm using Windows Server Backup. PLEASE don't try to sell me a backup package. I have already tried to get funds for that and get continuously shot down.
Update - In Server 2012 I can back up to the removable drive if I do a "backup once" I just can't SCHEDULE a backup without using the shared path.
