We are currently trying to create a copy of our SPS on a development
box to test migration, when attempting to run spsbackup from the
command line to utilize the portal switch i am getting multiple SQL
errors after the content index backup completes successfully, in the
event viewer there is an error "SQL Server backup failed. Error: The
operation failed on server ******/******. For more information, see the
Microsoft Windows Event Log on that server." When checking the event
log on that sql server there are no corresponding log entries.
