Afternoon all.
I need to get rid of an old server. In order to do so i want to follow the following steps.

No doing well as failing at step 1 :-)
I've gone through the Catalog wizard, selecting "offline, cold catalog backup". I want to backup to disk so i can copy it off - shut down the server and a rebuilt a new 2008 server of the same name etc etc.
When i run the offline catalog backup i was first getting a 141 error - path is not absolute. I have selected my Master and Media servers and browsed to the D drive to do the backup. Eventually i got the right path and now getting an error message 35 - > cannot make required directory.
Am not sure what i am doing wrong?
Interestingly even though i have done an inventory refresh, and i can see 2 blank scratch tapes in the drive - when i try do a catalog backup to removable media - it just brings up a blank drop down list, so cant see a tape to backit up to.
