Environment: Windows Advanced Server with SP2. SQL 2K Enterprise edition with SP2.

There are three disk drives in my shared array named E:, F:, and H:.

When I use EM (Enterprise Manager) to create a job (like a backup job), the drop down box contains only drive F:.

Drive F: was the drive specified during the install process for data files.

Drive C: and D: also exist. Drive D: was specified during the install process for the program files.

It seems to me that drop down boxes in EM which show disk drives should actually show me the following drives: C:, D:, E:, F:, and H:.

Any ideas why EM may not be showing all the disk drives.

TIA solart

I'm not sure why EM wouldn't show all the drives. However, you really should type out your backup commands (And most all others as well). Save them as scripts, that way you can keep a record of what you do. And then you don't run into limitations of the GUI.
