I am getting the following error in the backup routine:

Running UnityDisasterRecoveryBACKUP version: 1.0.95

Local Unity version=3.1(5.0)

Search for '(error)' or '(warning)' to find logged errors and warnings during the backup process.

Unity is configured as onbox voicemail only. Any thoughts?

That error was fixed many versions ago - always be sure to check for updated versions of tools, in particular ones that change often like DiRT and dbWalker. The latest version of DiRT backup is 1.0.112 (you're runnin 1.0.95) - get the latest from its home page here:

Never mind - found the other post on this ... UNC path is an issue for SQL... will fix.
