Error 8605

Failed to start restore. (DBNAME=object name, EC=error message/code)

Module:

Agent

Reason:

The restore operation may have failed to start for one of the following reasons:

• Machine Authentication Failure: The error message may indicate one of the following conditions:
  • Incorrect user name or password (Windows error 1326).
  • User name was specified without a domain or machine name qualifier, and this qualifier is needed for this particular user on the target machine (Windows error 1326).
  • Specified user does not have sufficient rights to perform a restore (Windows error 1385).
  • The username or password is missing (Windows error 87).
  • The Backup Agent Remote Service or the Backup Agent RPC Server service is running as a user that does not have sufficient privileges to perform a Windows login (Windows error 1314).
• Database Authentication Failure: The error message may indicate that an incorrect user name or password was used or that the user name was specified without a domain or machine name qualifier and this qualifier is needed for this configuration (Microsoft SQL with NT authentication or Microsoft Exchange).
• Other Database Agent or Database Server errors

Action:

To address this error message, implement the appropriate action, based on the Windows error code or type of failure, from the following list:

• For Windows Errors 1326 or 87, check the user name and password for machine login and specify domain or machine authentication for the target machine login. For a domain user, use the following format:

  Domain\User name

  For a local machine user, use the following format:

  Machine\User name

• For Windows Error 1385, ensure that the specified user either has the Backup files & Directories privilege in the Local Security Policies of the database server machine or is a member of a group with this right. This right is typically held by the Administrators and Backup Operators groups.
• For Windows Error 1314, perform the following procedure:
  1. In the control panel, under Services (for Windows NT) or Administrative Tools, Services (for Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003), check that the Backup Agent RPC Server service and the Backup Agent Remote Service (Agent for Microsoft SQL) are running as LocalSystem, or as a user that is a member of the Backup Operators group.
  2. If the Backup Agent RPC Server service or Backup Agent Remote Service is running as a user that is a member of the Backup Operators group, ensure that the Backup Operators group has the Act as part of the Operating System right in the Local Security Policies of the database server computer.
• For Database Authentication Failure, verify the following:
  • Verify that the user name and password are correct and that the database server you are trying to restore to is running.
  • Verify that the Backup Agent RPC Server service is started, and that, for the Agent for Microsoft SQL, the Backup Agent Remote Service is started.
  • For the Agent for Microsoft SQL (using NT authentication) or for the Agent for Microsoft Exchange, specify a domain or machine name qualifier for the user name used to log in to the database.
• For other Database Agent or Database Server errors, refer to the error message and the database agent activity log for details.
