Error 5008

Failed to create file [file name] - [error message]

Module:

Workstation

Reason:

The Workstation Restore process fails to create the file on the workstation due to one of the following:

  1. There may be a directory with the same file name.
  2. The workstation disk may be full.
  3. The file is opened by another application in a locked or exclusive mode.

Action:

For each of the causes check the following:

  1. If the file or directory exists but cannot be overwritten, you can restore the file with the option, 'rename if exists', and then restore the file with a different extension.
  2. Use CHKDSK to see if the workstation disk is full.
  3. Have the other application release the file.
