[SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3202)

    Hi friends,

    The backup job which is running fine from past six months suddenly started failing giving the following error:

    Message

    Executed as user:. Write on "Location" failed: 33(The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.) [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3202) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.

    The error says portion of file has been locked. I have check all SQL logs nothing was there, I checked and found there are no LOCKS as well. Even I tried running the job after sometime but no luck 🙁 .

    The job was failing form last 3 days I'm unable to find the reason.

    Can anyone help me in fixing this issue ASAP.

    Are you able to complete backup process manually? and also try system restart.

    I'm not able to backup manually also.

    Can't restart as its a production server.

    Try to identify process that is using your file. You may use any utility like task manager or process explorer.

    As I mentioned above I have checked the current activities and didn't find any processes using that file.Even Task manager also didn't help.
