Backup Failure | Network Issue

  • Hello All,

    Last few days, Im facing an issue while taking backups to the network path \\xxxxx\mm.bak

    The back up is failing due to below error

    100 percent processed.

    Processed 3 pages for database 'XXXX', file 'xx' on file 1.

    Msg 3271, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    A nonrecoverable I/O error occurred on file "\\xxx\xx.bak:" 64(The specified network name is no longer available.).

    Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally

    When Validating the .BAK file with

    RESTORE VERIFYONLY option

    The result of the query is The backup set 1 is Valid.

    Any thoughts on this issue(Presently working with Admin team on network issue).

  • Search this, or any other SQL Server forum, and you will see so many other people having issues backing up over a network.

    Almost without exception, the advice is... Don't backup directly to the network.

    Backup to a local drive, then copy to the network using something like xcopy.

  • This may occur due to temporary network glitch while taking backup.
