[NickG]

Running latest version of v8 BA on Server 2012 R2 Essentials and every full system protection back up is failing with BA2513, more specifically:

Retrieving volume information...
This will back up System Reserved (350.00 MB),(C:),Data(F:) to
... \\******\NetBackup\*****\Full.
The backup operation to \\*****\NetBackup\*****\Full is starting.
The backup of volume System Reserved (350.00 MB) completed successfully.
The backup of volume (C:) could not be completed. Error: The mounted backup
... volume is inaccessible. Please retry the operation.
Summary of the backup operation:
------------------

... operation.
Log of files successfully backed up:
C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup\Backup-03-12-2014_10-41-54.log

Log of files for which backup failed:

The files only backup of drive F works fine...

Any clues?

Thanks

I'm afraid that I'll require some additional information from you.

The steps to submit diagnostics are as follows:
1. Open BackupAssist.
2. Click on the Help menu across the top of the console.
3. Select Feedback and Support... from the drop down menu.
4. Click on Contact Support.
5. Enter the details asked for:
