Hi,
I tried to backup my database in my SQL Server to file G:\newtest
server\data (there a another list of backup folder there), it was saved
succesfully the first time, but I deleted the backup from the folder and
tried abain The second time an error appears : "The media set for database
"myData" has 2 family members, but only 1 are provided. all members must be
provided. Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally".

Any help would be apperciated

Urgent

Thank you

How did you try to back it up? Were you using EM or a script? This appears
to indicate a previous backup was done using more than one device of which
is no longer there. I suggest you start from scratch and attempt the backup
again and do not use any of the existing devices.

I am using Enterprise Manager, and have tried to do the backup using follders
on different drives drive, but I cannot do the backup a second time.

Thanks

Have you tried doing it with the BACKUP command thru Query Analyzer?
