SBS Server 2003 Backup fails with
The saved selection file "Script.bks" cannot be found

The Problem is that Exchange has been set up with the Recovery Storage Group to recover corrupt mailboxes. and the Backup has picked up the Recovery Storage Group as an item to be backed up, which is not a valid item to be backed up.

A fix is to remove the Recovery Storage Group from Exchange System Manager or to remove the Recover Storage group from the backup by running the NTBACKUP as shown below.

I found the solution at the web site listed below:-

Use NTbackup to remove Recovery Storage Group reference from the backup
selection script

1. Start -> Run -> NTBackup -> Advanced Mode -> Backup tab -> Job -> Load
Selections.

2. Select Small Business Backup Script.bks

3. Click OK on the error message:

Some invalid selections found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small
Business Server\Backup\Small Business Backup Script.bks.

4. Job -> Save Selections (overwrite --> Small Business Backup Script.bks)
