Been digging deeper into MOSS backup’s and came across the following error when trying to do a backup in MOSS central administration.
“Error: Object MOSSContent failed in event OnBackup. For more information, see the error log located in the backup directory. SqlException: Cannot open backup device ‘c:\mossbu\spbr00040000018.bak’. Operating system error 3(error not found).”
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Found quite a lot of articles relating to assigning security rights to the backup folder and sharing it out which I followed, but this still did not stop the errors. Then I came across this suggestion to use a UNC path for the location of the backup and voila – issue sorted.
I’ve finally switched over to IE7 and Vista and spent ages trying to figure out why I was being asked for a username and password when going into various sections of a MOSS 2007 portal – but never the homepage. With the proxy settings applied it worked fine, but when I removed them the security box appeared. It was nothing to do with security settings in the browser, it just needed a patch from MS. Just follow the details, apply for the hotfix and bingo. Appararently this hotfix will be part of Vista SP1.
