srinivas writes "hello,
i am trying to take backup of a large SQL server database (around 10GB) on to a NAS device. the problem is SQL server is writing the database successfully but the verifiaction of the database is failed. i can't restore it back. [note that how ever, i can successfully take backup of small databases (5-7 GB size)]

this problem occurs only if i use windows 2000. but if i do the same from windows NT , it writes and verifies successfully.

could you please tell me how to take large back up from SQL server(with winodws 2000 as OS) to a NAS device.

i am running : SQL server 2000 7 on windows 2000.

thanks in advance,
srinivas"
