Weird: Backup file works fine from the network but not when moved into sandbox environment

We have a valid full backup of a database. We know it is valid, we have restored it twice from the network with no problems, but we do not have access to the network location from our sandbox environment.
The .bak file is sizable at about 9GB. The .bak file resides on our internal network, in a SAN drive. No problems there. When we copy the file from there into a sandbox environment to attempt the restore in the sandbox environment it gets corrupted. We've
tried three different times and all three different times it gets corrupted. First time we copied the file over to the sandbox the restore went up to 50% and failed. The second time we copied the file again and attempted the restore again it failed at 70%.
The third time it failed at 60%. The error message we get during the restore is "...Read on ... failed: 13(The data is invalid) Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Restore database is terminating abnormally."
Now some background here. To move the file our network team is doing this: they have this .vmdk file that they mount out in our production environment (which has access to the network location where the .bak file is), copy the file into the drive, then move
the .vmdk file into the sandbox environment(which does not have access to the network location), mount the drive in the sandbox environment, and then I have access to the .bak file from within the sandbox environment.
Something in the process of using the .vmdk file to move the .bak file from production into the sandbox is causing the file to get corrupted.
Any thoughts? Has anyone seen this before? Any idea? TIA,
Raphael

    How do I send group emails from an iPad? They work fine on my MacBook but not my iPad.

    You need a third party app to do that. Look at Mail Shot or Group Email in the app store. You cannot do it with the built in mail app and the contacts app in iOS 5 without a third party app.

  • Scaling mobile app works fine on the X but not on the Y

    I originally made my app to work for iphone only but I am now scaling it to work on Ipad/ Android etc. I am doing all the scaling manually. It is a tabbed application.
    I am scaling all x and y locations and widths and heights by a scale factor that is created using..
              scaleFactorX = stage.width/320;
         scaleFactorY = stage.height/480;
    It works perfectly on the x but not quite enough on the y as objects look a little squashed vertically.
    I can't think why this is. If I were to alter the y scalefactor it would put things out when at the original phone size.
    The only part I'm not scaling manually is the actionBar and the bottom tabs. They are currently using default skins which use the DPI classification to determined size. I have however overridden this and set the action bar to use a skin with a much greater layoutContentGroupHeight. This hasn't however had any effect on the y scaling of objects in the main display area.
    The y scale isn't out by much, but it bothers me. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks.

  • C# SCOM SDK agent install works fine from debug mode but disconnects when built from installer

    My team is writing a C# application that installs SCOM agents on the fly. I used the code in :
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh329037.aspx
    as a template. Which works fine and will consistently install agents when I run it in debug from Visual Studio. But when I build an installer (using InstallShield), calls to:
    "AgentTaskResult results = adminServer.InstallAgents(agents, configuration);"
    always result in a Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.ServerDisconnectedException. The agent install even shows up in pending management on the SCOM server (but this sits in pending management forever and is never processed). Calling managementGroup.Reconnect();
    and retrying the agent install still results in a ServerDisconnectedException. The application has no problem doing other things with the managementGroup object (from debug or running from an installer). It can create MonitorConfigurationOverrides and
    gets events out of an outbound connector. So it seems like the disconnect problem is localized just to agent install requests.
    I looked in the Windows Event Log and found an OpsMgr SDK Service Error: 
    An exception was thrown while processing InstallAgents for session ID uuid:71d39b19-f9a7-4d4a-82ee-5043480af635;id=41.

    Hi,
    To create subsite using event receiver in SharePoint Empty Project, you can refer to:
    Sharepoint 2010 event handler to create subsites
    To display a PoPup to show the progress creation, you can use:  MessageBox.Show("Hello, world.");
    More information:
    MessageBox.Show Method (String)

  • TS2771 why are we hearing only background sounds when using earbuds?  works fine on ipod dock but not when earbud plug is pushed all the way in, it works when just barely pushed in.  please someone tell me it is a "cheap" fix.  :)

    Just wanna know if anybody knows what might be wrong???  earbuds work but sounds like background music only when plug is in all the way.  just barely in and it sounds normal. also works fine on the dock. 
    any input will be appreciated.  the teenager is having a spasm.

    The headphones work with other devices it would appear the the headphone jack is bad and needs to be replaced.

  • TS4425 I tried this on my iPad.  The but did not get any terms and conditions.  Photo stream works fine on the iPad but not on Apple TV.  What do I do?

    Followed the instructions but they don't work.  On the iPad I got no new T&Cs and it works fine.  So I have no means to agree the new T&Cs and because of that it does not work on Apple TV. 

    Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting  - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
    Something along those lines anyway.
    I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

    I have programmed my Iphone to automatically connect to confcalls (dialing the nbr, pausing, dialing the PIN code).
    Works fine from the Iphone as such.
    When I connect my Iphone in Bluetooth to the voice-driven system in my car (Mercedes C), only the phone number appears to be transmitted. Entering a conference call number via the Iphone while driving is not a good idea.
    How can I fix this ?

    That *****.  I sell electronics on ebay.  Before listing them, i have to test and clean them. I have worked with microsoft Zune, you could sync via wireless through the network to your host computer. 
    i was hoping Apple would add that feature or the ability to connect to my computer via WiFi or Bluetooth and sync it wirelessly...   It would be sweet to have the bluetooth and wireless opened up so you can do more than just  connect to headphones or a headset... 
    I upgraded to the iPhone 4 this past december, i am on replacement # 2 or my 3rd iPhone 4...  I was hoping for some upgrades in quality.  Also being left handed, it seemed to drop many calls and give me very poor reception.  i added a Griffin Elan Form Graphie case that covers all but the front, top button, bottom speakers and volume control buttons and the call and reception quality has improved.  But I sure would have loved to see some improvements in the quality and function of the phone...
    Thanks for your input, i really appreciate your replies...

  • WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none receive

    Hi,
    WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
    I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

    The answer to your question is - neither!
    Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

  • I am trying to connect to my Wifi Network. It is a Galaxy Nexus. I am trying to connect to this Hotspot. I have an iMac that works fine with my network but for some reason with this computer I cannot connect.

    So far I have pulled the system configuration file, I have reset safari, I deleted all old passwords from the wifi network in Keychain I restarted both devices. I am at the end here and I cannot get it to work I have an iMac that works fine with my network but for some reason this computer will not connect. It is system wide specifically to my personal hotspot. I can connect fine to any other network (wifi) but just not mine. I have not changed any wifi settings. I have been trying to figure this out. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2006 model running Lion (10.7.5) So any ideas anyone? Please help!

    12. At a WiFi hotspot, you can't get connected.  The most frequent reason is the login screen for the WiFi hotspot is only able to be connected with a single type of browser.  If Safari doesn't work, try Firefox, Chrome, Omniweb, or Opera.

  • Skill Search works fine from search center, but it doesn't work from Lync client

    My environment consists of Lync Server 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013.
    I configured skill search and it works fine from search center, but it doesn't work from Lync client. An error appears says"error occurred during the search, please try again".
    I configured these URLs in my client policy

    set-csclientpolicy -identity global -spsearchcenterinternalurl http://<Sharepoint Server>/searchcenter/pages/peopleresults.aspx
    I checked these URLs from the browser and they work fine.
    I disabled anonymous access to _vti_bin, but no change then i checked lync log but i didn't find any error then i used Wireshark and found that when Lync client contacts Sharepoint, Sharepoint responded to it with internal server error http 500
