Question : Sharepoint Server Backup and Restore

Hi Experts,

I am having difficulties to restore one of the sharepoint database on a new server. The situation is like this

On my old Sharepoint Server I've run a backup operation from Central Administration (CA) and it's successful.

On the new Sharepoint Server I go into CA and click on Restore from backup and point it to the location where i have the backup file. It then find the database properly and show up the backup information. I then select the sharepoint i'd like to restore and fill in all the SQL information then click Continue.

After about few seconds, it show up the following error message




Use this page to view the backup or restore job status.    

Status: Current backup/restore process has failed.
View all timer job information:

Timer Job Status
Timer Job Definitions

The backup/restore job failed. In order to rerun the backup/restore the timer job must be deleted from the Timer Job Definitions page. Failure Message: Access to the path 'C:\sharepointbackup\spbrtoc.xml' is denied.



Anyone know what's wrong with this database restore?

Thanks

Answer : Sharepoint Server Backup and Restore

ok..if this is the new dc .. and has already registered  its srv records in the dsn server .. (to test check RReg test results of the comand    dcdiag /test:dns )
the clients my be still using the old dc.. for that you need to do ipconfig /flushdns on the clients so that they query dns for a dc in their site and dns gives this servers records to client for authentication
..
here is how log on process startd :
the dns service on workstation sends dns query to the dns server specified in the TCP/IP settings
and dns server give results according the site location requestd by client ..
if client does not specify any site.. dns give all dcs.. and  client connects to random dc

howevr if the dc is in different site.. this dc will give the fqdn of dc client should be connection to ..

now.. other case may be .. if SRV record proority and weight specified in dns

cleints connect to  srv records with "lowest priority and highest weith " ..  that is (0)(100) by default

if there is a dc with prioruty of 5 and weight of 100 and other dc has 0 and 100

the client will chose  later dc ..as this has lower priority

check that if dcs in other site have srv records modified
