was there because of the file was read only. There was already another backup file which existed in the folder with the name aw.bak and it was marked as read only. Due to the same reason, my backup was failing. Once I removed the checkbox for reading only, the backup was successful.Here are few other blog posts related to this error, which I have written earlier.SQL SERVER – FIX – ERROR : Msg 3201, Level 16 Cannot open backup device .

of Create Database Command. Let see in this blog post how we can solve the error 3201.While cannot open backup device operating system error 67 working on the reproduction of the issue, I changed the parameters and later realized that the backup database command was also failing. If you rely on the default values http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2014/12/08/sql-server-fix-error-cannot-open-backup-device-operating-system-error-5access-is-denied/ for folders that don’t exist, this will raise an error message as shown below. Here is the simple command which I have run: BACKUP DATABASE MASTER TO DISK = 'master.bak' The command was failing with below error.Here is the text of the message shown in image: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Cannot open backup device ‘E:\InvalidPath\master.bak'. http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2015/01/30/sql-server-fix-error-msg-3201-level-16-state-1-line-1-cannot-open-backup-device-operating-system-error-3the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified/ Operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.If you notice the error message is pretty clear. The backup is going to path “E:\InvalidPath” which is an invalid folder on my system. Important point to note here is that I have NOT given any file path in the command, I have just given file name master.bak.The question is, from where the path is picked? If you have read my previous blog, it’s picked from “BackupDirectory” value in registry location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014\MSSQLServerThe highlighted portion might change based on SQL Version and Instance ID. For me it’s MSSQL12 because this is SQL Server 2014 instance. And my instance name is SQL2014:SQL VersionFolder NameSQL Server 2008MSSQL10SQL Server 2008 R2MSSQL10_50SQL Server 2012MSSQL11SQL Server 2014MSSQL12For example, if you have SQL Server 2012 default instance, it would be MSSQL11.MSSQLServer.Here is the registry valueWe can change it via SQL Server Management Studio too.
