Author Backup Exec 8.5 Problem with Win 2000 Servers

Hello Everyone / Anyone,

I currently run an Nt 4.5 domain with 3 Win 2000 Servers acting as servers
on the domain. Backup Exec is loaded on one of the W2k servers. Every
night I do a full backup on one big 200 GB tape and it has the capacity to
handle the tape.

For some reason the PDC and the BDC (both NT servers) backup with no issues.
The server that has backup exec loaded has no issues as well.

When Backup Exec tries to backup the other 2 W2K servers, they crash and
restart. It happens at different file locations, and the strangest thing is
that it happens on the C:\ Drive only. When it restarts, Backup Exec
notices that the drive has stopped responding and goes to the next job. The
next job is that same server's d:\drive and it works ok. I've checked the
OFO option and made sure that it was a high value. I thought that perhaps
it was a network issue and made sure that the TCP properties were configured
properly and they do. The remote agents look ok as well or they wouldn't
backup the d:\drive.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

If the servers restart during backup i would troubleshoot the disk-systems.
