Query reads like this: BACKUP DATABASE XXXX TO DISK = N'Z:\mssqlbk\XXXX.bak' WITH CHECKSUM, STATS Error message that is returned: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot open backup operating system error device 'Z:\mssqlbk\xxxx.bak'. Operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. Most solutions I find are thinking a permissions error for the SQL Service account (Mine uses an account named SQLBro). This is a small workgroup network, no AD. I have tried the following: Verified the user account on database server being used by the process during backup with Procmon: SQLBro Created local account on fileserver SQLBro, matching password with account on db server Added permissions for SQLBro account on fileserver to the root volume and target folder for backup on fileserver. Tried to add the long SQL user from the default backup location to the fileserver, but the name was too long for standard add local user interface (workaround?). Tried running service on db server with local system account instead of SQLBro. Still same error each time. I am running out of ideas and looking for workarounds now. Could backing up locally and then running a robocopy or xcopy to the mapped drive be a kludgy way to do this? sql-server sql-server-2008 workgroup share|improve this question asked Aug 22 '13 at 15:40 lutze 5217 xcopy of the .bak files from the db server's local ad

It will probably not be logged in with the same credentials as the user given (a removable drive perhaps). Also the path will be relative to the server, not whatever machine you are on, if that is different. –Orbling Jul 2 '11 at 14:12 1 Of course, d:\backups in my answer is just an example; use the path and file name that is appropriate for your setup. Make sure that the user accouont under which the SQL Server
