    Find out why this error occurred:

    Back Up Database 1 (XXXXXXX\XXXXXXXXX)" -NO_OUTPUT '" failed with the following error: "Unable to create backup sub directory "\\XXXXXXX\r$\XXXXXXX...

    Could be permissions, lack of space, something else. Check the the other system logs to see what you can learn.

  • I don't see anything in the event log besides database failed. It doesn't give me any details and we have 2 TB of free space on that drive.

  • The error message says it couldn't create the backup subdirectory. That leads me to a space issue or a permissions issue. Not much else I can suggest.

  • Ok, thanks for your response.

    "Unable to create backup sub directory "\\XXXXXXX\r$\XXXXXXX...

    You're using a windows administrative share and unless the SQL server agent account is a local admin on server \\xxxxxxxxxxx the r$ share will be unavailable.

    Create a new share and be sure to give the agent account the appropriate share and ntfs permissions as when the 2 combine the most restrictive applies 😉

  • Agreed with Perry.

    Moreover, if you have cluster situation and you are using drives or MPs of different node then both servers should be on the same cluster node.
