I am running Microsoft 2003 SBS with a primary C: partition size of
60GB. My secondary partition is 500GB. I have 2 ESATA external 500GB
hard drives that I back up to and rotate weekly. When NTbackup runs I
get an alert that the disk drive is low on disk space and the back up
fails. It is acting like NTbackup cache localy to the C: partition
and then transfers the back up it to the external drive? and is there
a way to fix this so I dont keep getting this low disk space error.
My C: partition has 28GB free when NTbackup is not running.

Maybe post your NTbackup log. Also verify your external drives are
formatted as NTFS.

I didn't think it cached anything to C:, start up the backup and watch the
disk space on C:.

As Al wrote, post the backup log.
Re-run the SBSBackup wizard and confirm that your not backing up to your C
drive.
Check your event log to see if you have any related errors.
