sql 2008r2 backup database "database 'any-database' does not exist".
SQL 2000 server upgraded to full version of 2008 R2.
Windows authentication as a member of domain admins
Regardless of the database name...
SQL Query:
backup database mydatabase
to disk = 'c:\data\backup\db.bak'
Gives error:
Msg 911, Level 16, State 11, Line 1
Database 'mydatabase' does not exist. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.'
Same with "backup log [any-database] to disk..."
All say "database does not exist".
I've added my user explicitly as dbo.
"use [any-name]" works just fine.

wow - obvious, and yet, dumb.
Collation: Latin1_General_CS_AS
Case Sensitive! First time I think I 've seen an MSSQL db in CS collation (other db's, yeah).
backup database MYDATABASE to disk = 'c:\data\db.bak'
works just fine!
Thanks a TON!!

run sp_helpdb and check the db name: it can be upper case
can you run from the same session
use mydatabase?
