Cannot open backup device 'C:\foldername'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).

  • Hi

    I am using SQL Server 2008R2 and Windows XP. SQL LOG ON User as "Network Service". I was able to take backup of database daily and all of a sudden i was getting the above error message as stated and resolved by granting the Network Service full access to the backup folder .

    No Changes happned on the machine as i am aware of, i am the only one who uses this machine. So I would like to know why all of a sudden the user had no access to the backup folder ?

    Thanks in advance 🙂
