We are using NAV 4.0, While taking the backups for our Native database, we are receivng the following error, Can any one please help us.
"The Operating system cannot find the drive and directory specified for the file …
Please check the drive, directrory and file names are correct.
Infact we have enough space available on the said drive, can anyone please help us !
Thanks in advance .
Is the destination drive for the backup on the network and really available?
How much space is available on the local system?
What is the size of the Navision database?
Thanks for the reply
YEs the drive is very much existing, It works fine till 65 % then it gives this error.
Enough space is available around 14GB.
The size of the database is around 7GB.
NAV backup files can only be 2GB in size, and when a backup file grows beyond that size, it automatically splits the backup into multiple files. When you start the restore with file 1, the system will automatically move on to file 2, which it will try to find in the same folder where the first file was. You need to make sure you have all backup files in the same folder, and then you can continue the restore process.
I found it useful to end my backup name with a number then it easily increments.
Backup1. ->easily becomes Backup2 then Backup3, etc etc.
I couldn’t be more happy with that NavBAckup Lite. It takes my 32GB database every night and makes me a 1.75GB file that I can pop onto a USB data drive and take it with me every night. I’ve also copied the entire Nav product cd on the USB Data drive so I can reinstall the entire system where ever I go (if necessary) I reinstalled it at home and it worked like a charm.
Thanks for the reply!
Do you mean by default Navision Backup will split its backup files.
