    Looking at BOL for SQL Server 2000, I don't see any option for VIRTUAL_DEVICE.

  • that looks like a third party tool. there is not enough info in the post to answer your question. Look in the SQL error log hopefully it will give more info on the error.

  • You also cannot do WITH DIFFERENTIAL against the master database, only FULL.

    I thought so, and just verified it myself as well.
