Restore backup failed with error 1100; using UNC path

tdpgman

Hi there,

I'm having an issue trying to restore a red gate backup using UNC path location.

WORKS:

EXECUTE master..sqlbackup N'-SQL "RESTORE DATABASE TESTDB FROM Disk=''h:\TESTDB\FULL_TESTDB_20081110_143936.sqb'' WITH REPLACE, RECOVERY,
MOVE ''TESTDB'' TO ''F:\MSSQL.6\MSSQL\Data\TESTDB.mdf'',
MOVE ''TESTDB_log'' TO ''G:\MSSQL.6\MSSQL\Data\TESTDB_log.ldf'''

FAILS:

EXECUTE master..sqlbackup N'-SQL "RESTORE DATABASE TESTDB FROM Disk=''\\<IP ADDRESS>\h$\TESTDB\FULL_TESTDB_20081110_143936.sqb'' WITH REPLACE, RECOVERY,
MOVE ''TESTDB'' TO ''F:\MSSQL.6\MSSQL\Data\TESTDB.mdf'',
MOVE ''TESTDB_log'' TO ''G:\MSSQL.6\MSSQL\Data\TESTDB_log.ldf'''


These are the errors reported by SQL Backup:

Restoring TESTDB (database) on DBGHOST instance from:
\\<IP ADDRESS>\h$\TESTDB\FULL_TESTDB_20081110_143936.sqb

SQL Server error

SQL Backup exit code: 1100
SQL error code: 3634


Is there an issue with using a UNC path vs a local path??

Im using SQL Backup 5.

Thanks in advance.

The message for error code 32 is 'The process cannot access the file because it is in use by another process.'.

Could you please check if the file is currently used by another database e.g.

SELECT * FROM master..sysaltfiles WHERE filename IN ('F:\MSSQL.6\MSSQL\Data\TESTDB.mdf', 'G:\MSSQL.6\MSSQL\Data\TESTDB_log.ldf')
