  • I think there is a problem in that extra \. See below.

    N'E:\\PP\\Jobs\\db\\dbname_backup.bak'

    M&M

  • Change it to N'E:\PP\Jobs\db\dbname_backup.bak'

    See if those folders exist in the E drive.

    M&M

  • I don't think the double \ causes any issues.

    Error:

    Write on "E:\\PP\\Jobs\\db\\dbname.bak" failed: 112(error not found)

    Are you sure you have enough space on the drive? net helpmsg 112 shows the error as "There is not enough space on the disk"

  • I checked there is no problem with // slash and also i checked to run this command manually. Its working fine but when its running in schedule its genrate an error message which i write above.

    And there is engouh space on the disk. I checked all the posibilites which cause the backup.

    1) Its not a network drive so there is no issue of network.

    2) I also check the space on the drive i.e also no problem.

    3) I checked the query of the backup that is also working if i run it manually.

    Is there any othere problem which may i have not checked?

    Regards,

    M.I.

  • Has the backup device been created?

    People who use third party tools or the GUI tend to forget that the T-SQL backup commands need that extra step.
