"Could not connect to database" when trying to backup SEB db.
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 6 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I'm trying to backup the database from our endpoint protection server, because we're going to rebuild the server. After last time, I know I need to do more than just backing up and restore the db, but I can't seem to get the DB to even backup.
When I run the db backup tool, I get an error "Could not connect to database. Cannot back up the site."
What might be wrong to keep the backup tool from talking to the db?
