    plz advice me

  • Does the SQLAGENT Service account have WRITE permission on that share?

  • This is not a complete and direct answer to your question but you could start by making sure that the user who owns the SQL Server service has full access to the directories that are listed in the error message.

  • Thank you,

    I found that the sharepoint admin from his system, he is trying to take the backups in central administration. At that we getting these errors in sql server side as as sharepont side.

    so what will be the solution

  • Suggest to the sharepoint admin that it would be better to take backups to the local disk and later move them to a network share?

    If that's not an option, ensure that the account that's doing the backups (not sure if it's SQL agent or Sharepoint) has write permissions on that share.

  • I'm getting the same error message: on a SQL2008 Sharepoint Cluster.

    The backup job works fine when it's run manually, and, since the error is sporadic, I'm sure that the account has access to the network share.

    The odd thing is that I have several transaction log backup jobs set to run at the same time. Invariably, half will run successfully, half will fail. They're going to the same server, same root folder (they've got different folders for each database), using the same user account. It's not always the same jobs failing.

    Highly annoying.

  • Try backing up to the local disk and then copying the files over the network after. It only takes a small network glitch for the backup to fail.

  • Hi Gail,

    I have a question here. In our company, Share Point admin is taking backups using Share point tools and I'm seeing in the error log on sql server that the share point databases are backed up at the same time.

    I'm also taking backups from scheduled backup jobs in SQLAgent. I did not understand why the databases are backing up while share point admin taking backups of sites from front end?

    Do I need to ask him to stop taking backups from front end? how this works actually?

  • You're gonna have to ask Sharepoint people that. I have no idea what sharepoint does when it backs up.

  • Hi DBA's, maintaing share point databases in SQL server 2005. Could you please answer my question regarding the backups considering Share point & SQL Server both involved?

  • Might be worth asking on a Sharepoint forum, like this one - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadmin/threads
