Backup Failure - Operating system error 64

I am receiving the below error message while doing a Database backup as a
schedule dts package job.
Operating system error 64(The specified network name is no longer available.).
or
Operating system error 64(error not found).
18210 :
BackupDiskFile::RequestDurableMedia: failure on backup device '
\\SERVER_NAME\SQLBackup\Production\DatabaseName.bak'. Operating system error
64(error not found).
18210 :
BackupMedium::ReportIoError: write failure on backup device
'\\\SERVER_NAME\SQLBackup\Production\DatabaseName.bak'. Operating system
error 64(error not found).
Please note, I am backing up to a networked drive/location using the below
command as an example, which is not a mapped drive,
BACKUP DATABASE [DatabaseName] TO DISK = \\SERVER_NAME\SQLBackup\Production\DatabaseName.bak' WITH INIT
The same scheduled dts package backup job sometimes run successfully at
the scheduled time and most times failed. The job is ran under the SQL Server
Agent account which has full access permission to the backup network drive.
The backup dts package always run successfully when ran manually using my
login account.
Thank you and kind regards
MichaelMichael,
The OS error 64 usually indicates the network problems.
Intermittent loss of connectivity to the share. To ensure that the
backups for the database are taken properly, I recommend you backup to
the local drive and then create a NT job to move the job to the share
upon completion of the SQL Backup. If the Nt copy job fails, then we
can be sure that the problem is because of network connectivity.
Hope that helps.

Backup database and index

Just wonder is what my understanding is correct:
1) If I put database and index onto same filegroup, when I schedule a
database backup, is the index will also be backup together with the database
?
2) If I put database and index onto separate filegroups, I need to schedule
2 backup jobs: one backup for database, another job for index at the same
schedule datetime ?
Alan,
Fear not! No matter how many data files or filegroups that you have, a full
backup will preserve all the data in the database including indexes, as long
as you don't specify the filegroup or filename in the backup statement.
Indeed the same is true for transaction log and differential backups too.
e.g.
BACKUP DATABASE Northwind NwindGroup1 TO <dumpdevice> will only backup the
NWindGroup1 filegroup.
however:
BACKUP DATABASE Northwind TO <dumpdevice> backs up all files across all
filegroups.

|||Additionally , SQL Server checks for and requires that a table and index be
backed up together... Even if you put them on separate filegroups and try to
backup only one of the FGs and not both, SQL will stop you with an error
that indicates you must backup and table and all of it's indexes together.

Backup and Restore

I have a backup of all my databases schedule to run every night but the problem is that I have to take the latest backup of database A and restore it into database B every morning. I have been doing this every morning manually but is there anyway by which I can schedule this to run automatically every morning bearing in mind that I cannot do DTS to transfer data. Database A must not be touched. The restore to database B has to be from the backup of database A.
Please any response will be greatly appreciated.I have a backup of all my databases schedule to run every night but the problem is that I have to take the latest backup of database A and restore it into database B every morning. I have been doing this every morning manually but -

Q1 Is there anyway by which I can schedule this to run automatically every morning?

- bearing in mind that I cannot do DTS to transfer data. Database A must not be touched. The restore to database B has to be from the backup of database A. Please any response will be greatly appreciated.

A1 Yes. (Create a job with a backup step and a restore step scheduled to run each morning.

For example:

Backup 2005 Express

I just tried to schedule a backup for a database created in SQL Server 2005
Express and all I could do was the actual backup but I couldn't specify the
schedule so it will backup every day
Any advice?

Hi
I am having problem with schedule tape backup in maintenance plan sql server
2005<o:p></o:p>
I have made a schedule for tape backup on Ultrium 2 LTO drive for all
databases. Backup succesfully completes but the tape could not be unloaded
even after pressing the eject button on the tape drive. I could not find any
tape unload/rewind option in the maintenace plan.<o:p></o:p>
Is there any option avilable in sql server 2005 to unload the tape in the
maintenance plan schedule backup, if so pls let me know the same at your
earliest and that will be a great help for me<o:p></o:p>
Thanks with regards

I don't know of any option, but you could add a job step that did a RESTORE
REWINDONLY at the end of the job. See Books inline for more.
