Hi,
My production log back job failed. We are running Ola Hallengren's script, and Full/Diff/Log are all in good shapes for a while until this morning when I tried to share the backup drive on the server so the restore script could move the .bak to
a test server.
Since then, I have tried to undo my sharing and possible permission changes on the server drive/folder, but the log back job is still failing.
The error message makes no sense to me. But could these two events (job failure and sharing) totally unrelated?
We have weekly full, daily diff and 10 min log backup, and last good log was 8:10.
Here is my command and error (with some values replaced): Thanks!
