I have a database, about 7GB, that I am attempting to backu pacross the network to a Firewire drive connected to another server. The bakcup runs and seems to be complete, but ends with an error. When I check the SQL Server log the error is:
BackupDiskFile::RequestDurableMedia: failure on backup device '\\cherry\dumps\mole\molert_full.BAK'. Operating system error 87(The parameter is incorrect.).
I have googled the error and have not found anything that is of any help. Most of the hits are just MS error code listings. Does anyone know anything about this Operating System Error?
I am successfully using htis backup strategy at another location.
Thanks,

Did you check the EventLogs on each system? Maybe there is a network hardware or configuration problem.

There are no errors in the Event Logs other than the failure due to OS Error 87. IT is interesting that in the other location where we are using this solution we are experiencing the same problem now after applying the latest Windows Updates. Since it happened at the end of our day we put a short-term fix in and will be working on it tomorrow. We will probably roll back the updates applied today one at a time and see which one may have caused the problem. I will post what we find out.
If anyone else has seen this problem please let me know what you did to correct it.

You said that the backup completed but is the file valid? Can you successfully perform restores off of this backup file?

I have not verified the backup. Currently we are using another solution to get backups completed successfully.

I've the same problem. Backing up around 20 DB's the same way. Only master or msdb fails with that error message all others with success. I verified the backup, everthing is all right.

This may be related to the latest McAffee Upgrade we did from 7.1 to 8.0i.

I've received the same error one time, for a handful of databases, performing native SQL Server Transaction Log Backups, followed by error 53 a second later. Then backup operations to the same NAS location began working again.
Transaction Logs backup every 15 minutes. Each job is the standard MS SQL Agent Log Shipping Backup, created by the wizard.
One database on the server failed with the same error about 9 hours later.
