I would recommend seeing the SQL Server error log for more details. –cularis Jul 25 '11 at 7:24 I don't think SQL server can cope with paths like \\server, you need to mount the folder on the server as a local drive letter or copy the backup file to the machine sql server is running on. –Ian Ringrose Jul 25 '11 at 8:50 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote SQL Server does happily backup to UNC paths - I backup to UNCs extensively for SQL Server 2000 and later. For SQL Server 2005 or later I use Ola's excellent backup (and db maintenance) scripts (http://ola.hallengren.com/) I'd suggest the first thing you need to do is verify the device is online (\server) by either pinging it, or browsing to it.

Our software first creates the dump device using a path with a folder created with the current date-time so it is unique. The error is happening for one of clients running our software where the dump device is using a network drive. It works for any of the new databases that were created recently. All the databases are on SQL Server 2000. The backup works if I create the dump device to a known path (path that exists already). But for the other databases it works just fine the otherway. The backup is called through the software and can't be changed right now for a simple fix. The backup process backs up the SQL part and other important data files. The sample commands being called (It errors directly in Query Analyzer).exec sp_addumpdevice N'disk', N'AFW02_20050622155554', N'F:\DATA\Backup\AFW02_20050622155554\AFW02_20050622155554.bak' BACKUP DATABASE [AFW02] TO [AFW02_20050622155554] WITH NOINIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'AFW02_20050622155554', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, DESCRIPTION = N'AFW02_20050622155554', NOFORMATThe error is:3201160Cannot open backup device '%ls'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details.It is a networked drive and the folder AFW02_20050622155554 doesn't exist yet. It is actually created when backuping a database to the dump device. Again it works just fine for any of the newer
