What user is the program running as? Does the bak file exist? Can you access it manually? –Pekka 웃 Oct 18 '10 at 14:41 1 Should we assume this is for SQL Server from the file path, since you didn't put the product in the tags or title? –Powerlord Oct 18 '10 at 14:42 I was able to run this query before I reformatted my laptop if it does any help. This is SQL Server 2008 and I am running as an administrator. The bak file does not exist since I am on the process of creating it with this query. –Smiley Oct 18 '10 at 14:45 @Smiley Face: You have to read the SQL file through your local, not network. So it means you will have to move the SQL file from the network to your local drive first, and restore it. –mrjimoy_05 Apr 8 '13 at 8:13 add a comment| 13 Answers 13 active oldest votes up vote 133 down vote accepted Yeah I just scored this one

Operating system error 53(The cannot open network path was not found.).1. The path does exist (meaning there's no typo error) tho i can't reach \\remotesqlserver outside sqlserver on my system and also i can ping the remote server.2. I have made the Backup folder on the remote server a shared folder for 'Everyone' and it still didn't help3. The Sql Server and Sql Agent service account are the same and its an Administrator tho i don't know cannot open backup if it has access to the remote server or the backup folder. It should right?So please help! and if there are any more checks i need to run kindly let me know, i'm new to this. Tnx in advance.

If you can connect to this path still from your system, then you have a permissions issue. Perhaps a password changed? It might be that the password was the same for both sides in a workgroup-type setting for the adminstrator account (or other account). If you have a domain account for SQL Server (service), then check permissions.Typically the admin shares aren't used for this because they can require some permissions you don't want to give, or need.

Andrew_Newth New Pleskian 4 70% Messages: 17 Likes Received: 1 Trophy Points: 47 12.0.18 update #39 Server 2012r2 Logged into my panel today to run a database backup on a site I'm working on to be confronted with the following: Unable to backup database 'XXXXXXXXXX' Cannot open backup device 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Backup\XXXXXXXXX.co.nz\databases\XXXXXXXXX-29\test'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.). BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. (Error code 21) I'm not sure why permissions would change on their own, I'm also not sure how to fix the permissions error. I get the same error on all databases.

Andrew_Newth, Mar 28, 2015 #1 Andrew_Newth New Pleskian 4 70% Messages: 17 Likes Received: 1 Trophy Points: 47 OK I think I may have fixed this by giving MSSQLSERVER permissions on the the C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Backup folder Andrew_Newth, Mar 28, 2015 #2 Matthew_Thomas New Pleskian 0 Messages: 9 Likes Received: 0 Trophy Points: 0 ic you fixed it but shine some light on it. if you run plesk reconfiguration it will check all permissions for all systems and web files you use and if they are wrong the app will set the right ones.
