BA2526: Unable to backup file catalog to backup destination

Error code Product Applies to
BA2526 BackupAssist BackupAssist ER v1 and later

Description

This error can be caused by:

  • An I/O error on the backup destination.
  • Low disk space available on the backup destination.

Resolution

Perform a chkdsk scan on the source and destination drives to see if there are any issues such as bad sectors and repair if required.

Try backing up to an alternate location (such as local directory) to see if the backup is successful or not.

If there is not enough space in the location you're trying to back up to:

  • You could delete some files at the backup destination to make room for this backup and future backups.
  • If this destination is shared with other data, you could remove or relocate the other data.
  • If you cannot remove or move data, you should consider using a larger backup destination drive or device, and then update the job to use the new destination.
