There are an existing backup file name called 'F:\MSSQL7\backup\Sep2003.bak'.

I am tryting add a new backup file name called 'F:\MSSQL7\backup\Oct2003.bak' and backup a Oct2003 DB in this backup file.

However, I am keep getting the error message:
"The volumn on device 'F:\MSSQL7\BACKUP\Sep2003.bak' is not part of a multifamily(RAID) media set. Use with FORMAT to perform a new NEW RAID set."

Could someone tell me what this mean?, and how to solve this problem?

How was the original backup made? What was the command that was used?

What is the command that you are using to add the database to the backup file?

Have you searched MS' knowledge base for information regarding your error, how about googling it? That's what we would do to answer your question.

I suspect that you select something wrong inside EM. Do the work inside Query Analyzer.

If you are going to use EM, click on the Sept backup and remove it. Then backup to Oct.

I'm sure he has fixed the problem considering the thread was opened last October.

lol. I didn't even look at the date. How did someone even find this thread. It must have been on page 195.

I should go back a few years and see if there are threads that didn't get answered and answer those to increase my post count even more!
