Restoring backup to remote server.

  • Hi,

    I have problem with restoring DB backup to remote server. I can login to remote server using SQL Server Management Studio but cannot find the local file system to locate backup. I tried query using UNC path

    RESTORE DATABASE [SCB] FROM

    DISK = N'\\Mac\D:\Database BackUp\SCB_Full_29062010.bak' WITH FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10

    but it also failed with an error,

    Cannot open backup device '\\Mac\D:\Database BackUp\SCB_Full_29062010.bak'. Operating system error 1265(The system detected a possible attempt to compromise security. Please ensure that you can contact the server that authenticated you.).

    Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

    Please assist me.

    -Vicky

  • Are the files on the remote server?

    If so, have you tried to access the share folder/file via Windows Explore?

    If the file is not on the remote server, then you need to set up a share on the main server so that you can access the file from the remote server.

  • Check whether the shared folder is accessible from the server where u r doing restore operation. Also u can check the permissions on the shared folder for the windows user (for which the sql services are running).

  • Common reason for that error is because the SQL Server service startup account does not have rights to the remote share.

    SQL BAK Explorer - read SQL Server backup file details without SQL Server.
