Device Offline

[Amy]

On occasion, I notice that some of my backup devices have become "offline" and the scheduled tasks associated with them will no longer run.

I get this error:
Can`t open dump device `d:MSSQLBACKUPdvbk_AFISlog.DAT`, device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)

Does anyone know how to get them back online without having to create a new device? Thanks in advance...

Amy,

I'm having the same problem. Did you ever get this figured out?

Thanks
