I'd normally say "I'm a Computer Programmer, primarily working with databases and set-based mathematics". That normally kills the conversation dead so I don't have to come up with anything...

Have you navigated to the right folder before running sqlcmd? I just tested it in the wrong location and got that error message.

Damn it, I knew the answer but clicked on the wrong button :-D.

What is the exact error message that you're getting?

Yes, you will be fine.

That too.

Sounds like a no?

Have you checked if the workaround in that link might apply to your situation?

I assume you've already checked that this path exists:

E:\SQL\MSSQL\Data\Syslogd.mdf

Has somebody tinkered with the registry?

If this relates to your other thread, then isn't your problem just that the copy job isn't working? (This is why I said to keep it all in one thread.)

If...

Normally I'd say do this;

The place you want to copy the log backups to; right-click on the folder > Properties > Security and see if the Service Account has permissions...

(dup)

Two questions;

1) is there anything in the error log?

2) Does the Service Account have permission to write to the destination folder?

Is this the same issue as in your previous thread? Try to keep it to one thread if you can.

Please post the whole error message.
