Hi, I am getting following errors while trying to back up a database. I am selecting a different location where my backups should be stored ('I:\'), but in the error I am seeing a different location ('G:\'). Could someone expalin me why there is a change in location and how to get rid of these errors.3041 : BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [coeforum] TO DISK = N'G:\dbbackup2\coeforum_db_200611140200.BAK' WITH INIT , NOUNLOAD , NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT 18204 : BackupDiskFile::CreateMedia: Backup device 'G:\dbbackup2\coeforum_db_200611140200.BAK' failed to create. Operating system error = 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). |

Kristen,I am using SQL server enterprise manager to do the backup. I'm following this procedure: right click on database> select all tasks> select backup database> and then selecting a location for backup file and so on. Is this not the way we do backups?quote: Originally posted by Kristen What is the Backup command that you are using?Kristen

"Is this not the way we do backups?"Its a way!BACKUP DATABASE MyDatabaseName TO DISK = 'x:\MyPath\MyFilename.BAK'WITH INIT, STATS = 10is another - and more likely to show you what is going wrong.Kristen |
