Everytime I try to backup my databases through enterprise manager, I get a error stating that the backup device (drive f:) cannot be opened.

The errorlog shows:
2000-05-08 13:16:57.46 spid7    Using 'xpstar.dll' version '1998.11.13' to execute extended stored procedure 'sp_MSgetversion'.

Can anyone offer a solution?

Is f: a network drive? if you look at the error log posted you have access denied errors. Check permissions on the files/directories you are trying to write to.
