sql server connect: Can you backup the database locally and then move that backup over to
the NAS? One of the problems with backing up across the network is
that you can have network connectivity "hiccups" which can cause the
backup to fail.

Unable to Backup across network (Operating system error 64)

Hello all,
I am using SQL Server 2k SP3 on Windows 2000 server. I setup db maintenance
plans to backup my databases across the network to a Terrabyte NAS storage
unit. The jobs execute, but then seem to lose connectivity to the NAS after
about 10 - 15 minutes. I get the following errors in SQL Server Logs:

BackupMedium::ReportIoError: write failure on backup device
'\\NTSVR1\Backup\NTSVR2\Reporting\Reporting_db_200409300116.BAK'. Operating
system error 64(The specified network name is no longer available.).

Can anybody help out with this??

Thanks,
-Dre
