BA250: Cannot find burner drive - ensure it is installed

Error code Product Applies to
BA250 BackupAssist BackupAssist v4 onward

Description

This error usually indicates that BackupAssist can't find the optical drive that is set as the backup destination.

Resolution

Make sure that the optical drive is installed correctly and has the latest Windows drivers installed through Device Manager.

Try running a backup through the native Windows backup solution (such as NTBackup or wbadmin) to see if that solution can detect the optical drive or not.
