| Hi There,Has anyone seen this before? This error occurs after backup routines on a SQL Server. What does it mean?I/O error on backup or restore restart-checkpoint file 'e:\sqldata\MSSQL\backup\model4IDR.ckp'. Operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). The statement is proceeding but is non-restartable.Thnx., Jeroen. |

| I am guessing you don't have a e:\sqldata\MSSQL\backup\?I've heard of this before and it was corrected by creating the path.How are you taking the backups?==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

| Hi there,If you ever receive an error relating to paths in the Event log for SQL Server, the first place you should look is the registry. For that particular error, I think you'll find that you need to change the key which contains the SQL Backup path. The registry address for this is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \MSSQLServer \MSSQLServer \MSSQLServerand the key's name is"BackupDirectory" which you should reset to the appropriate value for your installation.In fact, if you've done any chopping any changing, these registry paths will need to be examined e.g. if you installed SQL Server on the F(data) and G(log) drives but subsequently needed to change the drive lettering to D(Log) and E(Data) as I did, then you'll need to look at the parameters section which is under the same node i.e. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \MSSQLServer \MSSQLServer \ParametersTypical parameters are:SQLArg0 -dc:\MSSQL7\data\master.mdfSQLArg1 -ec:\MSSQL7\log\ERRORLOGSQLArg2 -lc:\MSSQL7\data\masterlog.ldf Of course in the above case that I've described, you'd also need to modify the paths in the following tables in the master database also --- sysfiles,sysaltfiles,sysdevices,sysdatabases but that is for another day.Regards,Seán |
