The success of SCCM/ConfigMgr backup will become very critical just before the start the migration process. As I mentioned in the SCCM/ConfigMgr CB migration checklist here, we need to make sure that we should have at least two good copies of SCCM backup. But, SCCM backup failed with error code #2 and the error code 2 refers back to “2 (0x2) = The system cannot find the file specified.” just few days before my server upgrade.
SQL server is on a remote box and the backup share is accessible from remote SQL server. However, for some reason SQL server was not able to access backup share on the CAS box. The backup has failed because it could complete the following operation “Backup Failed Error message – ERROR: CopyFile to \\ACNCAS\CASBackup\CASBackup\SiteDBServer failed.” I checked the following logs at remote SQL box as well as on CAS box but everywhere it was giving error code #2.
