Cannot open backup device 'F:\foldername'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).

SQL 2005 Enterprise
Even if I logon as Administrator and try to backup any of my databases to local partitions, I get this error below. I have been operating fine up until this point and doing backups all the time.  As far as I know, and after checking, no permissions have changed and of course Administrator has ntfs permissions to my local C and other partitions on this server:

SQL Service account is DOMAIN\SQLAdmin
Have given the SQLAdmin AD account access to the Backup shares on the file servers (2 file servers, FILE1, FILE2)
and I still get the error
Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = N'\\SERVER\APPS\backups\UA\DB\DB.BAK'
I trid to attach it as device, which runs
sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'Network_Share', '\\SERVER\backup\APPS\UA\DB\DB.BAK'
BUT when restoring, same error occurred (Access denied)
Only case I can backup/restore to/from network shares, is from the machines where SQL Server runs (SQL1, SQL2)
e.g. I copy the BAK file from FILE1 to SQL2, share the folder (add SQLAdmin account with access), then restore on SQL1 with file from SQL2 Share
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = N'\\SQL2\backups\UA\DB\DB.BAK'

    Hi pulkit,
    According to your description, the actual error could be caused by but not limited to the following issues: Memory issues, Third Party issues, or SQL Server issues and so on. However, as shanky post, if you use an external or third party backup tool like
    NetBackup, BackupExec, or one of the many other tools available for backing up SQL Server databases without having to write your own backup scripts, and the error occurs. You need to check if there are some issues about your VDI or SQLVDI.DLL. Meanwhile,
    you also need to troubleshooting Memory Issue or the third tool issue. For more information about troubleshooting the error 995 when backing up database via the third party tool. You can review the following blog.
    https://support.software.dell.com/kb/SOL14674
    In addition, the error may include additional text from the operating system indicating that the disk is full. When performing a backup or restore operation with third-party backup software an additional message may occur indicating that the backup failed.
    Perform the following tasks as appropriate:
     1. Review the underlying system error messages and SQL Server error messages preceding this one to identify the cause of the failure.
     2. Ensure that the backup and restore medium has sufficient space.
     3. Correct any errors raised by third-party backup and restore software.
    There is also detail about backing up database via T-SQL statement /GUI, you can review the following article.

    Any ideas?

    It looks like the SQL Server service account doesn't have the needed registry permissions.  This may be because the account was changed directly using service control manager instead of using the SQL Server Configuration tool.
    Try changing the SQL Server service account using the SQL Server Configuration tool to another account temporarily and then back to the desired one and restart SQL Server.  This should assign the permissions the service account requires.

    This is the account you need to give permissions to the directory, right click in explorer > properties > Shares (And Security)

    Apply and wait for the permissions to propogate, try the backup again.
    NOTE 2: if you are backing up across the network and your SQL is running as "Local Service" then you are in trouble ... you can try assigning permissions or it may be easier to backup locally and xcopy across outside of SQL Server
    (an hour later).
    NOTE 3: If your running as network service then SOMETIMES the remote machine will not recognize the network serivce on your SQL Server. If this is the case you need to add permissions for the actual computer itself eg. MyServer$. "

  • Server2012: system error 5 access is denied

    I can successfully log in as administrator to this virtual server after connecting through HyperV. The server time is OK. When I run net user from Power Shell, it displays the two existing accounts (admin and guest). When I try and add a new user, I get
    the system error 5 access is denied message.

    Simply do it using an elevated prompt. Do a right click then choose run as administrator
    option before running Powershell. If you still have the access denied issue then double check your local permissions.

    can anyone pls help how to set the db offline. currently  i  stopped the sql server services from services.msc and started the  sql server agent.
    should i stop both services for moving from one drive to another?
    note: I tried teh below solution but this didint work:
    ALTER DATABASE <DBName> SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
    Update:
    now am getting the message :
    Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_detach_db, Line 40
    The database 'CMP_143' does not exist. Supply a valid database name. To see available databases, use sys.databases.

    First you should have checked the database mdf/ldf name and location by using the command
    Use CMP_143
    Go
    Sp_helpfile
    Looks like your database CMP_143 was successfully detached but mdf/ldf location or name was different that is why it did not get copied to target location.
    Database is already detached that’s why db offline failed
    Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_detach_db, Line 40
    The database 'CMP_143' does not exist. Supply a valid database name. To see available databases, use sys.databases.
    EXEC @RC = sp_attach_db @DBName, @DESTData, @DESTLog
    Attached step is failing as there is no mdf file

    Solution:
    Search for the physical files(mdf/ldf) in the OS and copy to target location and the re-run sp_attach_db with right location and name of mdf/ldf.

  • Bulk Insert Task Cannot bulk load because the file could not be opened.operating system error error code 3(The system cannot find the path specified.)

    Following error i am getting after i chnaged the Path in Config File from
    \\vs01\d$\\Deployment\Files\temp.txt
    to
    C:\Deployment\Files\temp.txt
    [Bulk Insert Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot bulk load because the file "C:\Deployment\Files\temp.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).". 

    I think i know whats going on. The Bulk Insert task runs by executing sql command (bulk insert) internally from the target sql server to load the file. This means that the SQL Server Agent of the target sql server should have permissions on the file you trying to load. This also means that you need to use UNC path instead to specify the file path (if the target server in on different machine)
    Also from BOL (see section Usage Considerations - last bullet point)
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141239.aspx
    * Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can run a package that contains a Bulk Insert task.
    Make sure you take care of this as well.

  • SSRS 2005 report: Cannot bulk load Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.)

    I built a SSRS 2005 report, which calls a stored proc on SQL Server 2005. The proc contains following code:
    CREATE TABLE #promo (promo VARCHAR(1000))
    BULK
    INSERT #promo
    FROM '\\aseposretail\c$\nz\promo_names.txt'
    WITH
    --FIELDTERMINATOR = '',
    ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
    SELECT * from #promo
    It's ok when I manually execute the proc in SSMS.
    When I try to run the report from BIDS I got following error:
    *Cannot bulk load because the file "\aseposretail\c$\nz\promo_names.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).*
    Note: I have gooled a bit and see many questions on this but they are not relevant because I CAN run the code no problem in SSMS. It's the SSRS having the issue. I know little about the security of SSRS.

    I'm having the same type of issue.  I can bulk load the same file into the same table on the same server using the same login on one workstation, but not on another.  I get this error:
    Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
    Cannot bulk load because the file "\\xxx\abc.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
    I've checked SQL client versions and they are the same, I've also set the client connection to TCP/IP only in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.  Still this one workstation is getting the error.  Since the same login is being used on both workstations and it works on one  but not the other, the issue is not a permissions issue.  I can also have another user login into the bad workstation and have the bulk load fail, but when they log into their regular workstation it works fine.  Any ideas on what the client configuration issue is?  These are the version numbers for Management Studio:

  • Getting an error 'Cannot open Boot device' while trying to install Solaris

    Hi,
    We were trying to install Solaris * on a Sun Sparc system and the CD rom drive does not seem to get recognised. When we try booting from cd rom we get an error 'Cannot open boot device' .
    This server was up & running and we were trying to remove a hard disk that had failed and modified the vfstab script . After that the system failed to even boot up. So when we tried reinstalling the OS we are running into this problem.
    Am new to this technology ...And any help would be greatly appreciated. .....
    Thanks

    Cdrom drive must be scsi device 6
    I assume you are running < boot cdrom> at the ok prompt
    also at the ok prompt run the command <probe-scsi> (without the angled brackets) you need to see the following:
    Target 6
    Unit 0 Removable read only device TOSHIBA XM.......bigpileofnumbers
    If not, check the cdrom drive and the cdrom inside
    hope this helps

  • Backup & Recovery From Diffferent Operating system

    My Oracle 9i Databae is running on Unix server.
    I want to take the backup and recovery operation from my NT machine. should i take care anything, like character set...etc.....?

    Standby databases must be the same database version and run on the same operating system as the primary. You can't have an NT standby database with a Solaris primary database. I expect this restriction will be relaxed for logical standby databases in the future, but the restriction is still there in 10.1.
    For the same reasons, you cannot recover a database onto an operating system other than the operating system that the original database was running on. Depending on the size of the database, the amount of acceptable downtime, and the volatility of the data, you may be able to do a full export on the Unix server and import that on the Windows server.

    Prep your new drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.
