Backup = Error Msg 3271, Level 16, State 1

  • We migrated our SQL 2005 server to a new 64 bit Windows Server 2008 box. Now, when I backup 500+ MB files to a network share, I receive the below error several minutes:

    Msg 3271, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

    A nonrecoverable I/O error occurred on file "\\<SERVER>\<SHARE>\<DB>.bak:" 64(The specified network name is no longer available.).

    Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

    BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

    In the Application Logs I see the following:

    BackupDiskFile::RequestDurableMedia

    \\<SERVER>\<SHARE>\<DB>.bak

    64(The specified network name is no longer available.)

    22470000100000000A0000004E0047005300520056005200530051004C00000000000000

    This worked before the migration. So I do not believe this is a problem with the network or the file server. I also tried on another file server with no success. When I run a backup locally, it flies and works flawlessly. This is true for Full and Differential backups.

    I read a few things pointing to Disabling Network Redirector File Caching and playing with parameters on the LanmanWorkstation registry entry, but nothing specific to WS 2008. Any thoughts?

    Thank you in advance!
