HotCopy Trouble

bctirado

I'm having a heck of a time getting hotcopy working, ](*,) below is what I'm getting when I try to run a backup. If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

Parameters fed to HotCopy
hotcopy source="Company Database.fdb" destination=D:\backups\Navision servername=cmsvr user=xxxx password=xxxx

Backup W1 3.60

Backup Tool for Navision Attain version 3.60
Copyright (c) 1987-2002 Navision a/s.

Backup started at 2005/01/11 15:51:38.

Free space on the destination volume \ is 14347920 KB.
Total size of database files is 7000000 KB.

List of database files to be backed up on volume \:
\Program Files\Navision Attain\Client\Company Database.fdb

List of backup files for volume \:

The following message came from the server.

The operating system returned the error (487):

Have you done a db test? Just in case it is related to your error.

Hi,

If hotcopy has never worked, ensure the account the service runs under, has permission to write to the destination folder.

We’ve also “fixed” the problem by stop/starting the navision service.

I ran a min Database test last night and it didn't report anything unusual, I'm running another test now that checks more stuff.

Hotcopy has never worked. I checked the service account that navision runs under does have the proper permissions. I've also tried stopping/starting the service with no luck and the same error message.

Thanks for the help guys have any other ideas?

How about trying on the same server - but with the standard database.fdb and copying it to a new directory for instance \DEMOBACK ?? Have You tried this?
