we are currently having issues with backing up and restoring using redgate 6

This is on a Windows server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit with SQL Server 2008.

the error in the log is:

UAC is turned off completely and i've even tried elevating the permissions of the relevant user to admin to ensure that its not a permissions issue but i still get the same thing.

we are also getting the following errors in the event log

BackupVirtualDeviceFile::RequestDurableMedia: Flush failure on backup device 'SQLBACKUP_DF0272DA-CA84-4746-A91C-1E427D0F3CE914'. Operating system error 995(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105).

and

SQLVDI: Loc=TriggerAbort. Desc=invoked. ErrorCode=(0). Process=1928. Thread=2108. Server. Instance=MSSQLSERVER. VD=Global\SQLBACKUP_DF0272DA-CA84-4746-A91C-1E427D0F3CE9_SQLVDIMemoryName_0.

There is loads of room on the server on all drives on the server so its not a space issue, and its a fresh build. I can restore or backup using SQL native backup to the same drives with no issues.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as we're putting alot of these servers live and really need to bottom this out.

Thanks very much

    It appears to be a permissions issue. Can you confirm that the SQL Backup Agent service startup account has the necessary rights to that folder? Can you try backing up to another folder that everyone has read/write rights to, just to check that SQL Backup is working correctly?

    Thank you.

  • Thanks Petey,

    I added the specific user to the folder permissions rather than just the group that the user was in and that appears to have worked.
