Backup failed on sharepoint database.

  • Hi,

    We have SQL service and sharepoint service running on the same server. I am using data backup and restore utility to backup sites and databases. The utility does backup the site. But does not backup the database. I get this error in the error log every day.

    2005-07-08 04:04:37.64 backup    BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [XXX_SITE] TO  DISK = N'D:\Sharepoint\backup\data\20050708\SPS-Backup-XXXX-XXX_SITE.SPB' WITH  INIT ,  NOUNLOAD ,  NOSKIP ,  STATS = 5,  NOFORMAT

    There are 3 databases. It backs up one and the rest of the two fails. First time it backed up all three databases. But after that only one is backed up.

    But if we rerun the backup it is completed successfully.

    There are no security issues.

    - Is it because it is not able to create a folder. WE create a folder daily to do the backup. There is enough space on the server

    Any help is appreciated

  • We have exactly the same issue.  If you install Sharepoint SP2, you will begin to see an error when you use SharePoint Backup and Restore utility, but the problem is still not resolved.  Have you found any solution?
