Backup failed: Operating system error 112(error not found).

[smeagol]

Hi,
I keep getting this error message for a trans.log backup.
Operating system error
112(error not found).
The disk has about 6GB space free, and the backup should only take up
about 550 MB, so I would think it is not space related but...
The disk is NTFS.
Any ideas?

.... but NET HELPMSG 112 says

There is not enough space on the disk.

Not many. I would perform all sorts of sanity checks that you are looking
on the right disk, that the transaction log is small as you believe it
to be etc.

Did you ever get this sorted ?
I'm having the same problem and have heaps of free disk space ? :confused:
