have been running backups (Full and TLOG) over the network to one Server.
I use SQL Maint plans and the UNC path for the Backup destination.

recently I have switched to another destination server on the same network. This new backup Server supposedly has more horsepower and it does h ave lots more storage.

Problem I'm having is my backups are failing with this error:

Executed as user: SUPREME\SQLKofC. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.

and this in the backuplog:

* spid69 BackupDiskFile::RequestDurableMedia: failure on backup device '\\kocsqllab02\SQL BACKUPS\KOCALT01\Altiris_db_200807210743.BAK'. Operating system error 64(The specified network name is no longer available.).

* backup BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [Altiris] TO DISK = N'\\kocsqllab02\SQL BACKUPS\KOCALT01\Altiris_db_200807210743.BAK' WITH INIT , NOUNLOAD , NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT

* backup Database backed up: Database: Altiris_Incidents, creation date(time): 2006/02/22(16:32:41), pages dumped: 4518, first LSN: 10369:224:1, last LSN: 10369:226:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=DISK: {'\\kocsqllab02\SQL BACKUPS\KOCALT01\Altiris_Incidents_db_200807210822.BAK'}).

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? to me it looks like a Network problem .. maybe the switch that the new dest server is attached to or the NIC or something..

ANyone seen this before???

Is the new server named exactly as the old server (kocsqllab02)?
Are the UNC paths accesible (\\kocsqllab02\SQL BACKUPS\KOCALT01\)?
Do SUPREME\SQLKofC have enough permissions to write to the share?

definitely permissions where good.. the backup ran for awhile and then failed.. .

turned out that the SAN was bad..
