Hi All,

Firstly thank you for looking at this post, i am having problems backing up a database and the error returned is as:


[Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] ERROR 3202: [Microsoft][ODBS SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Write on 'D:\MSSQL\BACKUPS\HFM\HFM_db_200812021423.BAK' failed, status = 112. See the SQL Server error log for more details, [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

The database had a full backup a whle ago but it's failed ever since.

Any ideas.....

Kind Regards

Petek

Ok cool.It's always good to have good tools or script to monitor disk space usage so you know what is exact issue.

We use third-party tools for it. Did you search for it?

We used to use a CLR object that I wrote: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2007/12/18/60435.aspx

But now we are using MOM and to get the mount point information we use a Veritas management pack in MOM.
