asked on SQL Restore from networked server
I recently had a job running on a reporting server that would restore the backups from the production server over the network. I had a system failure and had to rebuild the reporting server and now when I run the restore script I receive the following error. I have attached the job restore script.
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 2, Line 22
Cannot open backup device '\\serv007\r$\SQLBackups\D
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 22
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

Unfortunately that didn't resolve the issue, I'm still getting the same error.
My current work around is to copy the .bak file using \\serv007... to the server with reporting SQL and then restore from the local source.

The database is often running as a service under an account with no network access.
If this is the case, then you wouldn't be able to restore directly over the network.
Either the backup needs to be copied to the local machine or the database service needs to
run as a user with the proper network access.

Hi,
I don't know if you have developed the script, but you can try to modify it to copy the backup file locally and than make the restore. Obviously the script can not do this directly via the remote server.
Or whoever made the script, needs to be asked to modify it a bit.
You can try yourself, to take the backup file locally and see if you can do the restore manually. If this works, than we'll know the diagnose.

Igor

Completed the permission solution
I am sure this is a user permissions issue.
Try to go to the Control panel->administrative tools->services-> SQL Server
At the properties, choose log on as: local system account and also choose to allow service to interact with desktop.
I hope this will solve the problem.
Please let me know if anything.
Regards,
Igor
