  • HI Guys.

    Can any one tells me where i m doing mistake.

    Message

    Executed as user: Domain\user. Cannot open backup device 'Database_Full(\\192.0.0.1\Backups\FULL_Backups\database_Full.BAK)'. Operating system error 53(error not found). [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3201) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.

  • I think you are using different user for both jobs. Please verify whether user used in failed job has proper access.

  • You are backing up to a network share. Does the SQL Server Agent service startup user have rights to write to that network share?

    SQL BAK Explorer - read SQL Server backup file details without SQL Server.
    Supports backup files created with SQL Server 2005 up to SQL Server 2017.

  • Also make sure the folder structure exists - backup will not create any folder structure you specify in the backup command, it has to exist first.

  • Operating system error 53 means 'the network path was not found' so looks like your path specified to backup device is wrong.

  • When you backup to a network share make sure you use a full UNC path to the target.

    For example \\MyServerName\MyFolder\MySubFolder\MyBackupFile.BAK

  • it is is same system daily it is working fine today only it is not working.

    we have 2 steps in job one is working fine and this one is not working.
