A year ago I moved from Windows Home Server to Server Essentials 2012 as a backup solution for my simple home configuration - 2 Windows 7 Professional desktops. It was a perfect solution and works flawlessly - and has saved my tail on numerous occasions.
The configuration is simple - I have a internal SSD drive from the operating system and a few other applications and (2) identical 4 Terabyte internal hard drives setup as a single storage pool - configured as a 2 way mirror. Every few days when I log into the Windows Dashboard and check out the alert viewer, I have a single error - "One or more hard drives in Server Backup are not connected". When I follow the instructions - open the dashboard, click storage, hard drives - I see a single C drive (which of course is connected - it runs the OS) and a single D drive - the storage pool. Clicking on the D drive and "Advanced - Manage Storage Spaces" shows my single pool (a green OK) and the 2 physical drives (also a green OK).
There are no other drives attached to this server - no external USB drives, external hard drives - nothing. Why is WSE showing this message?
