Yes - we can see that it is down to SQL Backup. Now we know what is causing the disk traffic we'll live with it - we were just a bit confused about activity on a drive that we expected to be reasonably quiet. / comments

We are using SQL Backup 6.4.0.56 running on Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP 2. The version of SQL is SQL Server 2005 SP2 CU10 Enterprise Edition.

Device\LanmanRedirector\ServerB\g$\backups\server_01.sqb
This I think is the cause. Our backups should actually be going to a location on another server but I assume that they are being cached/queued into this local file first. / comments

Device\LanmanRedirector\ServerB\g$\backups\server_01.sqb
So although we are trying to direct the backup to the remote system, good old windows does some buffering for us first on the local C drive. / comments
