Greetings,

We recently purchased an RD1000 backup device which shipped with Yosemite Backup for Dell, version 8.10-sp6.  Our OS is Server 2008 R2 x64.  I performed a default installation.  The server is not currently joined with a windows domain, and I left all of the Yosemite options as default.

Issue: Backup does not work

Symptoms: When I run a backup job the status changes to "Starting Hosts" and then a few seconds later goes straight to "Closing Device".  When I check the logs I see that there was an error encountered:  "Error 2: End of data".  I made sure that the backup device is specifically marked as the backup location, and I chose to back up only a single folder where I gave full persmission to the user object "Everyone".  I have also tried to run backups jobs using the default setting where everything is selected for backup.  Also the completed status remains at 0%.

Also before and after trying to run backups I ran these jobs in the following order: Format >> Erase >> Test Device, all came back with no errors and completed 100%.  Also Yosemite was installed using an account with Administrator permissions, and I have also tried to run it by right clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator".

Is there an issue with WS2K8-R2?  Am I missing something permission-wise? Any advice? 

Thanks.
