You didn't specifically mention that you deselected the D drive as a source,
so I want to ensure that you do this (sorry I wasn't clear earlier). You'll
need to run through the Backup wizard again to change your settings and
deselect D. Having it specified as a source is the issue. Specifying D as a
target is another issue altogether :-)
