Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Backups The operating system returned error 5(Access is denied.) message in sql error log RE: The operating system returned error 5(Access is denied.) message in sql error log

  • either that .bak file you bought over had a corruption in it or you have an underlying system problem (disk or driver)

    Have you run the dbcc checkdb? thats the first thing to do.

    Look for any other errors in the server event logs.
