  • Hello,

    Can you check if you do have access to the following backup file:

    'C:\Logshipping\PrimaryServer\MASK.bak'

    sometime if system backups are running and copying this than it may create this kind of problem. If backup is small copy it to other location and than restore.

    HTH

  • Yes it has access to that backup folder...

    When i tried in same machine with two instances, it worked fine...

    But, when i try using network machines the error raised....

    Access given ; shared permissions provided; everything is fine as i checked....

    Any thoughts please...

  • Register the other network machine to the primary server; if successful. Do Logshipping through wizard.

  • You did get it. I want you to register the server first. And than connect.
