When you encounter errors with a backup application that uses the SQL Server Virtual Device Interface (VDI), you can check the logs generated by the VDI for more information. Depending on the version of the VDI that's active on your system, the logs are stored in different places. See this document on how to identify the VDI version that's registered on your system. If your VDI version is that installed by SQL Server 2000, the VDI will generate a log file named vdi.log in the SQL Server instance's log folder, which contains further details of the error. ![]() If you are using the VDI library installed by SQL Server 2005 or later, errors are logged in the Windows Event Viewer.
