backup error - error 112

Hi,

When trying to do a full backup, I get write on
c\xxxxxxx\shipmatedb_20050715xxx - failed status 112.

It allow however to do the backup is I select "overwrite existing media"

The only thing that has changed today was that I shrunk the log file....

Error 112 seems to be a space issue - run "NET HELPMSG 112" in a Windows
command prompt to see that. If this doesn't help, I suggest you give some
more details about your MSSQL version, your backup strategy, where you're
backing up to, how much free space you have etc.

Simon|||Simon,

Thank you for the explanation, it turns out my disk space was near
zero...Cleared some large files and all is well.

regards
