>I'm attaching the files that you ask for, hope it helps. I can see the problematic backups in knldiag (without further useful information and the surprising message "tape: surprising blockcount"), but not in dbm.utl. Are you trying Autosave-Log backups by any chance? May we have a look into the files dbm.prt, dbm.knl, dbm.mdf and dbm.mmm too? You can also compress them, if you like.

Dezember 2002 10:24 To: Heinrich, Tilo Subject: Re: Back up error Two different win2k servers, one which doesn't take to kindly to backup mediums at all and one which works with certain type of names apparently, for example if the medium name is Handle and the location is C:\DB\Athena_Backup.log it is fine. If I have somethig else like Test for medium name and for file location C:\DB\Test.log then it does not work, I would get the -903 error. I'm attaching the files that you ask for, hope it helps. I'm getting errors like this in the knldiag.err file 2002-12-11 15:08:20 0x504 ERR 18500 IO Wrong file or device name 'C:\DB\Mydatabase_backup.log' 2002-12-11 15:08:45 0x528 ERR 18500 IO Wrong file or device name 'C:\DB\Mydatabase_backup.log' 2002-12-11 15:09:22 0x204 ERR 18500 IO Wrong file or device name 'C:\DB\Mydatabase_backup.log' 2002-12-11 15:09:34 0x204 ERR 18500 IO Wrong file or device name 'C:\DB\Mydatabase_backup.log' Thanks.
