When performing a backup I'm reciving the error message: "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Cannot open backup device. Operating system error 5(error not found). (Microsoft.SqlServre.Smo)
This is backing up to a network location and I'm able to backup other database on the same server/instance without error so it shouldnt be a permissions issue?why I can backup some databases to this location and not others?

When I execute the following transaction log backup TSQL in SSMS
BACKUP LOG ProductDB
TO DISK = 'D:Database_BackupTransProductDB.trn';
I get this error:
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot open backup device 'D:Database_BackupTransProductDB.trn'. Operating system error 21(The device is not ready.).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.
I also have a daily database backup job that puts the backup file under this directory.
D:Database_BackupData
So I changed the path to this and it still fails.
BACKUP LOG ProductDB
TO DISK = 'D:Database_BackupDataProductDB.trn';
However if I change it to this path, it works:
BACKUP LOG ProductDB
TO DISK = 'MyServerDataProductDB.trn';
This turns out to be the path I used a few weeks back when I backed up the log for the very first time. But I now wanted to store my transaction log backups in D:Database_BackupTrans.

It's OS / SQL related. I backup to a UNC device, and frequently get a network related error - but not always. And the error is also OS related...
The scene: 64 bit Windows Server 2008 hosts 64 bit SQL 2008 Standard, and devices are created to point to 64 Server 2008 Server B (ServerBSQL_backupsdvc_DB.bak). The database is backed up daily, on a job, and when run the following error is returned:

The file is generated, the same size as a successful backup, but the job terminates unsuccessful.I have tried to delete the devices' file, and then the backup usually succeeds. This may point to a permissions' type error, but the user the job is run under is a domain admin. The destination server is not unavailable during this time, and the network shares also remain active throughout the excersize - although I haven't got a way to "prove" this.
I have a few databases that backup to the UNC described above (different files) that don't fail..My SQL2000 server backs up it's databases to the SQL2008 server, and those backups don't fail with this error.
My research has led me to understand that the 64bit OS tries to buffer the files it receives from another server, and I was wondering if this could be influencing the backups as the destination server is also 64 bit Windows Server 2008.
##20090812## UPDATE
I tried another way to do the backup; with the same results:
Backup database Infovest to disk = '
iscsrv-dcm04
iscsrv-sql01_backupsdvc_Infovest_Z.bak' with INIT,STATS=1

I am trying to attach a database to SQL 2005. This database has not previously been attached. I have only just installed SQL.
I get the following message: Unable to open physical file "C:ArrowSQLArr@DataArrow_data.mdf" Operating system error 5: "5(error not found)" (Microsoft SQL Server: Error 5120)".
I have loaded SQL and the database fiel and directory with the same user account which is a local administrator on this machine. I have checked that I have read/write access to the file.
The machine runs Windows Vista Business. SQL has SP 2 loaded. What causes this?

I am trying to make my maintenance plan to backup on a remote server but it fails with:
"failed with the following error: "xp_delete_file() returned error 2".
I am pretty sure its because it doesnt have full access to the share folder... My question is, how can I grant access to it, if I am using a local account as sql agent service: NT ServiceSQLSERVERAGENT.I need to change the service account?

Hi Everybody:
I'm writting an standar application in c# that comunnicates with a sql server 2005 in a mobile device. The mobile device is connected to the pc with an usb wire. In the sample I've made, I've inserted in the form main a datagridview. I go on the wizard to select the data source. I choose a Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition data connection. The data source is tge activesync mobile device. I create a new database in the mobile device called test.sdf. The wizard has a button to check the conecttion and it rules. A new connection appears in the server explorer. I add rows through a query. I build the solution and no problem, but when I start the debug session an sqlceexception occurs: Data Source not found. In the database connection that the project has created the connection string is: Data Source ="Mobile Device est.sdf";
I didn't write any code. I just went on the wizards. All the code has been inserted by visual studio 2005.
Any idea?

This is probably a simple question but I have to ask it anyway. When backing up I can backup to a file on my local drive but I also can create a device to the same location on my local drive. Is this doing the same thing. If I so desire to backup to the local drive(bear with me) what is the difference between creating a device and a file called mybackup or just choosing to backup to a file called mybackup? Should I always create a device? I know these are dumb question but....

Is there any benefit in creating a backup device and using that in the backup statement over just using a disk file in the backup statement. It seems like extra work to create the backup device with sp_addumpdevice with the file location. Whereas I could just specify the file location right in the BACKUP statement by specifying DISK as the backup device.

I dump my databases to backup devices each night.
However would like to purge old backups - say older than a week - from the device.
Is it a case that I have to drop and re-create the devices every 7 days or can SQL do this for me?
I have seen the RETAINDAYS claus but it applies to tape backups only?
Thanks

In SQL 2000, is there an advantage to defining and using a backupdevice versus just backing up to disk?Currently, I've got a SQL Backup job set to run once per day, withtransaction log backups running every hour. The db and backups arewritten directly to folders on an external disk array. I've neverconfigured an actual Backup Device within SQL. Does creating a BackupDevice offer any advantages not available with my current backupmethod?Thank you for any help.Jason

I got full backup on daily schedule its taking more space on Drive because each file has more than 25GB.I am using SLQ server 2008R2 so I'm looking to take the backup with compression instead of uncompressed Backup. What are the impacts of compressed backup. Is there any problems with compressed backup while restoring the backup file.

I have a transaction log which is backed up 5 times a day to a device.
The Transaction log is growing quite quickly in between each backup. The backup device is also growing at a much quicker rate.
realistically i would like to only keep 2 weeks worth of transaction log backups in the device.
for the transaction log backup i have tried the following transact-Sql
'Backup Log [imsv23] to [imsv23_TL_2] with RetainDays = 7, Init, NoUnload, Name = N'imsv23 TL V2', NoSkip,Stats=10,Noformat'
but due to all of the contents in the backup set not having expired the backup fails.
i need to reduce the size of the backup device. all of the backup sets have expiry dates but none of them are being deleted from device.
so my problem is 1 i need to remove the excessive backups from the device
2 i need to set up the automatic backups so that these datasets are removed when the expiry date is reached.
thanks in advance

Hi Folks,
I have a SQL Server 7.0 with and exteranl SCSI tape device.
When I attempt to backup a database in EM the tape device is being greyed out.
I have add the backup device using sp_dumpdevice and made sure that it is in sysdevices table. It will not allow me to add this backup device from the drop down.
1. Why does EM not see this device ?
2. If I try to back this up using T-SQL will I be able to use the registared tape device.
Thanks Folks

I'm trying to set a backup job to back up my databases to a server other than the server where Sql server is installed. The only options I can see are the local drives on my sql server when I try to set a location or backup device. If I want my backups to go to another server , How do I do that. Currently I'm trying to use a UNC path like \ServerNameBackups. When I try to use a UNC path I get an invalid directory error.
I'm fairly new to SQL Server as you can tell!
Can anyone help me? (I'm using sql server 2000)
Thanks

I am a newbie in SQL Server Administration. I decided to make the move within my company that no one else wanted.
I have SQL Server 2000 running at this time; users are connecting and using it. My question I guess pertains to the backups.
I have two drives setup for data and transactions logs (D: E:)
My backups are running but backups are being sent to the d:systems datamssqlackup folder. once backups are comlete I normally copy the backups to a network share that is being backed up nightly to tape.
My question is this:
How do i create a device location under backup properties to point to a network share? i would like for the backups to go straight to a network drive so i do not have to copy the backups every morning when i come in.

I want to be able to take a backup device to another server and then restore the last backup file within the device.
My script creates the backup device using the filename of the file from the other server but when I do the restore it only restores the first file in the device.
How can I get it to restore the last file? In EA I can do a manual resotre and look inside the device and choose say backup number 2.
How can I do this in a script?
Thanks

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm having problems using backup in Enterprise Manager, the backup continually fails and points to a hardware problem. However, I have been able to backup files using different software to tape which rules out hardware.
I'm trying to create a new backup device incase the problem lies there but I receive the error 'error15061: Add device request denied. A physical device named '%s' already exists'
Any ideas?

I want to create a backup device for the tape drive.
So I go in "Server Objects"=>"Backup Devices" and create a new device. Problem is: In "Destination" I can't select "Tape:".
The ntbackup.exe program recognizes the tape drive, but SQL2005 not.
I have this:
-SQL2005 Enterprise edition 64bit.
-Tape drive HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960.
Someone knows how I can create a backupdevice for the tape?
Thanks

I an trying to figure out a workable backup plan. I'd like to use a backup device, but I don't see how to keep a set number of days backups in it. Backing up to a backup device adds the backup in. How do I purge the expired backups so there is only, lets say, 3 days worth of backups in the backup device?

I've got a new HP ML370 G4 Server 2003 SP1 with a fresh install of SQL 2005 SP1. I'm trying to create a backup device for the internal HP DAT 40 and tape is greyed out as an option. I have the newest HP software drivers and firmware. The tape drive is seen by Server 2003 device manager and by NTBACKUP. I can backup using that program. Why doesn't SQL 2005 see it? I tried a new HP Ultrium tape drive with the same results. Anyone else see this and can recommend a fix? TIA
