Question : SBS Backup - 'The saved selection file "Script.bks" cannot be found.'

The SBS backup only worked once, after a thorough repair of SBS.

Every time since, the error log is what you'll see below.
I've removed the Small Business Backup Script.bks from the backup directory, but that didn't help.
I saw an article which referred to a registry entry, but I don't know which specific entry it is.
The same article referred to editing  bkprunner.exe, but I don't know with what, or what to change.
I have no idea if there is a settings file for bkprunner.exe that I can delete or edit.


I've been using  ntbackup  for now, which does run.


Thanks.  
Larry

Answer : SBS Backup - 'The saved selection file "Script.bks" cannot be found.'

The issue can also be caused by the incorrect content of the "script.bks" file. Open the Small Business Backup Script.bks file with the notepad.
If you see:
JET SERVERNAME\Microsoft Information Store\Recovery Storage Group\ , this problem will appear because NTbackup is not able to back up the Recovery Storage Group either via the script or directly via the NTbackup GUI.

To correct it, you can use NTbackup to remove Recovery Storage Group reference from the backup selection script:

Make a backup of the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\Backup\Small Business Backup Script.bks" file and remove the one line.
