  • Hi Art,

    Could you please paste the contents of the SQL Backup log file for this failed job?

    By default they are located in :

    %:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Red Gate\SQL Backup\Log\<instance name>

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    That doesn't seem to be the whole log file?

    If you don't wish you paste it here you can private message me or send it to support@red-gate.com with this forum post referenced.

    Thanks

  • Was there a solution?

    I am seeing the exact same errors. I'm running SQL Backup 5.2 on a Windows 2000 / SQL 2000 box if that matters.

    I'm backing up directly to a network drive - uncompressed (part of the requirements). But I've tried it compressed as well, multi-thread, lowest possible Max block size. And all combinations of these.

    Of note: it doesn't fail on ALL the backups - but the largest database that DOES work is 3.5GB - and I've got a SEVERAL databases larger than that that need to get backed up properly.

    I wasn't receiving this error when this job was going to the old network drive.

    However, I've got 10 other SQL servers all pointing at the new network drive and the are NOT experiencing this error.

    The new network drive location has a very low load - and I'm running all the backups in their own window so they aren't stepping on each other.

    Thanks for any help in advance!
