End of Media encountered while backing up to non-removable media
I was getting this error on SBS 2003, Small Business Server 2003 when backing up to a removeable USB drive:
End of Media encountered while backing up to non-removable media.
The operation was ended.
The drive had plenty of space.
The problem was that the external drive was formatted as FAT, and all the backup files went to 4GB and then it quit, since that is the limit for FAT. The drive had to be converted to NTFS. You can use this command to convert it to NTFS:
convert e: /fs:ntfs /v

Keep getting "Not Enough Space On The Disk" when trying to save files to a server share? - Small Business Server
Keep getting "Not Enough Space On The Disk" when trying to save files to a server share? - Small Business Server
Getting this error message?
Unable to create the file ..... "there is not enough space on the disk"
Unfortunately, Windows Server does not give the correct error message to the user when their disk quota has been exceeded. It tells them that there is not enough space on the disk, rather than telling them that their disk quota has been exceeded.
Quotas on the partition/volume where the user shared folders are. By default it is 1 Gb per user, over the entire drive, not counting exchange,sql or sharepoint.
1. Log on to your system with an administrator account, for example,owner or administrator.
2. Click Start, and then click My Computer.
3. Right-click on the drive, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Quota tab.
5. Either increase the amount of disk space available to users bychanging the Limit disk space to option or disable the Disk Quotas featureby clicking to clear the Enable Quota management check box.
