Problem
Microsoft SQL backup Job fails with the error stating "Final error: 0xe000fe21 - An invalid path or file name was specified."
Error
Final error: 0xe000fe21 - An invalid path or file name was specified.
Backup- SERVERNAME\DB-NAME WARNING: "SERVERNAME\DB-NAME " is a corrupt file.
This file cannot verify.
Cause
This occurs during AOFO-enabled backups of SQL databases.
Beremote debug Output:
[4008] 10/16/08 14:19:16 brUtil::OpenActiveObject Error: 0xE000FE21 Could not find the object Data/DBNAME_data.mdf C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data/DBNAME_data.mdf
Solution
A) Perform the backup without using the AOFO option.
Snapshot processing with AOFO can significantly reduce server performance, especially when backing up during production hours.
B) If backup needs to be performed with AOFO option, detach and re-attach the SQL database.
TECH36492 for fixing the "database specified does not exist" error has the same solution as this case ie detaching and re-attaching the database. For further detailed steps, please see the related article which describes using OSQL command line or SQL Enterprise Manager for SQL Server 2000.
