Ron, it was BACKUP ALL and I was using the owner's identifier. Actually, one of the alternatives I tried was BACKUP Structure followed by Data to the same output file - singly and together - but using CONNECT db READ I still got the error. If that had turned out to be the problem then I would have changed to using two different files.
