thank you very much again for this great peece of work. I investigated the whole day to make this mp work with SCOM SP1 and my WSS 3.0 Serverfarm. And what can I say. It works great!

One thing maybe to say. My WSS Serverfarm and the databases are on different servers. So you have to set an unc path in the rule. also you have to setup appropriate permissions to this folder. Otherwise the backup will run into an error:

Source: SharePoint Backups
Event ID:944
SqlException: Cannot open backup device ‘k:\wssbackups\spbr00000000032.bak’
Operating system error 3(error not found).
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally

Then it works also if the two parts of the WSS farm were seperated.

Thanks again!!
