The network name could not be found (\\server\admin$\complusbackup)

Modified on Fri, 27 Oct, 2023 at 6:51 AM

Symptoms

The error is reported during backup for a SQL Server backup set.


Cause

The protected SQL server is clustered and the Windows cluster holding the SQL application is version 2008 or newer.


Workaround

Due to Windows API limitations, the IP of the virtual SQL cluster node must be used instead of its name when creating the backup set in DS-User.
