Hi - I may just need help with my syntax - when using MIRROR/VERIFY/PASSWORD combination - I get an 'invalid password' error...below is a list of tests which all work except the last one - any ideas? Thanks all!

    Do you know what this error refers to? Something in your 'up_take_backup_redgate' procedure?

    Its a SQLBackup message (not a sql one) - The following are the full details of what the backup process returns in its result set...

    SQL Backup generates a log file for each process that it runs. The default folder where the logs are stored is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Red Gate\SQL Backup\Log\<instance name> on Windows 2003 and older, and C:\ProgramData\Red Gate\SQL Backup\Log\<instance name> on Windows Vista and newer.

    Could you please post the contents of the log file for the backup that raised the error?

    Thanks.

    I have rerun to recreate the issue...it only fails when the combination of MIRROR/PASSWORD/VERIFY is used.

    The issue you are encountering was a bug in version 6.1, and was fixed in 6.3. However, I would suggest upgrading to version 6.5, as it contains fixes for other issues for the version 6 release.

    If you have an active maintenance contract, you could upgrade to version 7 instead.
