Error



Compound Error copying x:\Folder\Path\File.txt  8007051b

Please check that the specified destination exists, is writable, and has enough available disk space for this operation.

This can happen if a local path is used such as d:\


Solution



Ensure that the correct parameters are used in the emergency restore command.

 dlocommandu -emergencyrestore "usersharepath" -w "recoverypassword" -ap "destination-path"

Note: Ensure that the usersharepath the recovery password and the destination path begin and end with quotes " ".

The destination path must be UNC and it needs to be restore to a shared folder.

Examples: 
1. The DLOCommandu.exe is run from the DLO folder on the media server
2. The backed up files are located on the local R: drive.
3. The Emergency Restore password is "P@ssw0rd"
 
Correct:
DLOCommandu -EmergencyRestore "R:\DLOStorage\MyDomain-Administrator\.dlo" -w P@ssw0rd -ap "\\RemoteServer\<ShareName>"
 
Correct:
DLOCommandu -EmergencyRestore "R:\DLOStorage\MyDomain-Administrator\.dlo" -w P@ssw0rd -ap "\\LocalServer\D$\LocalPath"
 
Wrong:
DLOCommandu -EmergencyRestore "R:\DLOStorage\MyDomain-Administrator\.dlo" -w P@ssw0rd -ap "d:\LocalPath\NotShared"
