We get an error when we are trying to run a backup of the SQL db here, we just got a new ISP to this company and al the routers and the like has been reconfigured (if that might be the problem). Would apreciate a speedy help with this one.
Here is the error message we get

I have SQL 2005 running on OS 2003. I am trying to take backup on a network drive (NAS box).
I have logged into the OS2003 machine as ADSadministrator and the same for SQL 2005. I have given full control to ADSadministrator on the network drive of the NAS box.
When I try to take a backup, I get the following error :
I have 2 different servers that run nightly backup jobs to a network drive using the UNC format. I am noticing the larger databases encountering the following errors on a regular basis
Error: 18210, Severity: 16, State: 1. '\fnfssql3SQLBackupsMNSQL05<database>.BAK'. Operating system error 64(The specified network name is no longer available.). BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE <database>. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.
There are 5 databases on this server all backed up by the same job and 3 of them wortk fine and 2 of them fail so it is not a permissions problem. Have there been any problems with backing up to a network drive in 2005?

We have a Windows 2003 Web Edition server serving a site through IIS. It connects to a Windows 2003 Standard Edition server running SQL 2000 SP3a.
This site receives the following error as seen in the topic: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.
We've configured the server network utility to only allow TCP/IP connections. The connection string for the site is as follows:
Any ideas or tips on solving this issue? We've noticed it is due to larger queries as smaller ones do work with no problems.
The servers are behind a BSD box running iptables, has 1433,1434 along with standard web ports wide open. Anything outbound is allowed.
Some further testing via ODBC on the IIS server improved things. No more connection pooling for the SQL Server driver allows for 1/3 of the query to run. Still 2/3s of it doesn't show up, and that general network error message appears.
Hi While running a DTS, many times the error message: "[DBNETLIB][ConnetionWrite (WrapperWrite()).]General network error. Check your network documentation." appears. Does somebody knows why?
I am running the DTS from a computer (not the server where the DTS is stored) and it is connected without any problem when this happens.
My application is running fine, as i can login to it and also able to view pages. But when i open Order management(having 3K records) its give me error,
General Network Error. Check your network documentation
I have also searched many articles and tried following solutions but nothing working
- connectiontimeout = 0, max pool size = 7500/100, pooling = false
- SSL disabling enforce security false as mentioned in microsoft kb article.
And there's nothing any issue with hardware/firewall as my application's login and other forms are working fine(which use same database with same connection string)

I tying to test my backup to a network drive but it fails.
Please help ..thanks this is the script -- example from BOL:
BACKUP DATABASE pubs TO DISK '\radrisMSSQLBACKUPpubtest.bak'
this is the error:
Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot open backup device '\radrisMSSQLBACKUPpubtest.bak'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details. Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I would like to backup my databases to a network share (NAS) instead of local disk using Maintenance Plans created by Enterprise Manager. I have successfully used a UNC path to target the destination network share but have not been to figure out how to submit a logon to the network share before the backup is executed.
The SQL Server instance is running in the context of the local system account.
Can I insert a step in the SQL SQL job that is created by the Maintenance Plans that changes the Windows account that the backup runs under? If yes what command syntax would I use in the inserted step or is there another way to accomplish that I'm attempting to do?
I am trying to backup a database with a command like:
BACKUP DATABASE my DataBase TO DISK = '\bkSystemkDiskBackup1.bak'
but I get the error 'Cannot open backup device '\bkSystemkDiskBackup1.bak'. Device error or device off-line. The bkDisk folder is shared, with Everyone full-control access (it's a test environment)
I have creted a backup device on network drive and getting the following error when I run the backup command as a job.SQL server and the agent are running on a domain account which has full permission on the network drive.Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
"Cannot open backup device 'mccdiffbkpond2build'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3201) Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed"
I am setting up a backup on one of my DB's and the network drive does not appear as an location that I can backup too. Only the C drive is present. However, on the server I do have a drive mapped to the network drive, so it should be available. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
I have scheduled a backup on a remote machine. Everyday I FTP these backups from the remote machine to the local drive.
A local drive is maped to the remote machine in Windows NT Explorer but SQLSERVER7 Enterprise Manager can't see this drive so that I could do the backup to it.
If I dump 20GB DB to hard disk on same Server it takes approx. 2 hrs(give or take). If I dump same DB to tape, also approx 2 hrs. If I restore to same or different server on same hub it takes approx 2 hrs. However, if I dump to different server on same hup it takes 10 - 12 hrs. E.G. Dump 20 GB DB from server A to disk or tape on Server A -- 2 hrs. Restore to Server A or Server B from disk on Server A -- 2 hrs. Dump 20 GB DB from Server A to Server C -- 12 hrs. Same hub. Restore Server D from Server C -- 2 hrs.
All 100mbps cards on fiber. Same hub.
Any suggestions as to why the difference when dumping across the network as opposed ro restoring across the network??? Bill
The database server is on computer P4. Computer P3 has a shared folder with full access. Computer P5 on which I have my Backup Device and will execute the Backup Database Command using Query Analyzer.
On P5 I created the Backup Device:
USE master EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'myDevice', '\P3 emp est.bak'
Then I executed the following on P5 Query Analyzer:
Backup Database myDatabase TO myDevice
But I get this error:
Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot open backup device 'myDevice'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details. Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
It seems to me that either by accident or design, SQL Server tends to steer you away from backing up directly over the network.
Are there reasons for not doing this because you obviously don't want to leave your backups on a local drive in case the drive fails?
Some possibilties that I can think of are:-
1. Local drives have faster access times and SQL backups can get quite large. I did a quick test and found that a netwrok backup takes 2 to 3 times longer than it does on a local drive. 2. Backing up on the netwrok could hog too much bandwidth. I haven't tested this and would be surprised it it's true. 3. There could be some reason that you don't want the Server and Agent services running under a domain account but want to leave them on the Local System account. I am not aware of any such reasons by the way. 4. Local drives persumably have a slightly higher availability than network drives. If the server is running, the drive should be available.
HI i am trying to take a backup on Network drive but i am getting following error message. althought when i try to type the address in window explorer. i can access the specific folder. so that there shouldn't be network security issue.... and even thought the backup device name is correct. when i try to take backup on local disk, it work's fine....
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. Cannot open backup device 'FullBackup(\0.0.0.0SQL_BackupsFullBackupsFullBackup.bak)'. Operating system error 5(error not found). [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3201) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
I have inherited a SQLS erver 2000 instance where the client neverimplemented a backup startegy for the "master" and "msdb" databases.MSDB is now showing errors and my only option for a restore is from atape backup of the server.Any thoughts..
I am using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I am planning on upgrading to either Workgroup or Standard edition. While working with Express Edition I did find out that this version does not support backup to a network drive. My question is:
Is it possible to backup directly to a network drive using a Workgroup/ Standard edition of SQL Server rather than backing up to a local drive and then 'copy and paste' to a network drive like the Express Edition.My other question is :
Given a database limit of 50GB, which one of the editions, Workgroup or Standard, will be appropriate for use.Thank you for your time and patience. Regards Berly Sam
