Hi,

I have been trying to set up log shipping on a database with a backup size of ~190MB. However, I have been getting two error messages as stated below during the initial backup of the DB before it is restored on the warm standby.

1st Error
--------------
Windows was unable to save all of the data for the file \Device\LanmanRedirector\<<UNC Path>>. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save the file elsewhere.

2nd Error
-----------
Write on '<<UNC path>>' failed, status 64. See the Sql Server eror log for more details. BACKUP database is terminating abnormally.

Backing up the database out side of the logshipping set up runs fine if I use a mapped drive, but it fails again when I use a UNC path. All the permissions are correct (I have backed up a smaller DB to the UNC path which completes successfully) so I am a little stumped.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Rich
