  • Ask the vendor of the tool for help?

    Is the database "offline" or the folder "" offline?

    Have you tried fiddling with the folder permissions ( perhaps the tool, sql server, your account) doesn't have access

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Then vendor says that it's a Microsoft problem so i have to contact Microsoft .... So you understand that i am alone ..

    An other information : The database is member of AAG Group.

    Backup on primary database is OK. The problem is on the Replica.

    I have compared the permission on each server (Primary and Replica) - the same.

  • I'm not familiar with AAG groups or replica's.

    As you're working with AAG's you might get funding for a MS support call / consultant to sort it out

    Lordy.  I'd be interested in knowing the name of such an arrogant vendor that won't even help a paying customer identify what the issue is so that you could ask MS about it.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • Hi,

    The database was only used by one request.

    Dev Team has migrated the data in an other database.

    The database was put OFFLINE and get out of AAG.

    Thanks all for your help,

    Matt
