Ok folks try this one on. Each night during our Tape
backup the following error occurs in SQL logs
I/O error on backup or restore restart-checkpoint
file 'd:\MSSQL\backup\model4IDR.ckp'. Operating system
error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). The
statement is proceeding but is non-restartable.
The kicker? We do not have a database called model4IDR.
In sysdatabases there is no such thing and we do not
understand where the backup is getting this info (veritas)
Any ideas to point me in the right direction?
thanks
JTSIt is probably a Veritas specific issue, I haven't seen it before. Worth
speaking to Veritas support.

Is .NET important for a database professional?

JTS|||In Enterprise Manager, expand to Management > SQL Server Agent > Jobs
and look for your job that is backing up to your tape drive (you ma
also try under Management > Database Maintenance Plans).
Have a look in the Steps tab of this jobs Properties, and there shoul
be a Step referring to model4IDR.ckp.
Alternatively, if your maintenance plan gets its instructions from
text file, find that text file and search it for references to you
erroneous database.
I have the same error right now, but it's for databases that do exist
It turns out that when we had a crash the other week, the CD ROM wa
removed from my server, resulting in my secondary HDD moving from F:
to E:\. Obviously the files for some of my existing databases cannot b
found. It just shows that this error message usually means exactly wha
it says.
If you cannot find the file it is looking for, I suggest creating
text file of the same name and location (it couldn't hurt!!), and le
it find that.
Lastly, that DB name looks TOO MUCH like the model db that all SQ
Servers have, so exercise CAUTION. Cheers
