Configuring own backup sbs server 2008

Question

We are running windows small business server 2008 but when it comes back every day with its status report it is reporting the backup as not configured. is there a way to tell windows that we are using our own backup software like you tell windows you are managing the firewall/antivirus.

Answer

This should stop the warning message.

Specifically:

Run the SBS Backup wizard, and elect
to ‘not use SBS Backup’. From the
Welcome screen, next > What you see
next I think depends on whether you’ve
run the backup wizard before, or not.
Here’s what I see (as I’ve run the
wizard previously). Modify Backup
Settings – there is a “change
existing backup settings” or a “do
not use SBS backup” radio button.
