Re: Smigrate under able to backup a site

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Some more information for everyone. The exact error message I get when
using smigrate is:

ERROR: 589831 Server error: The folder that would hold URL 'MSDS' does not
exist on the server.

I originally thought it was listing the subwebname in the error message.
But as it turns out MSDS is the name of a folder in the site. I setup the
site in My Network Places as a Web Folder and when I browse to it I get the
error "The folder http://webname/MSDS is no longer available." I'm assuming
this is why I am getting the error when I try to use smigrate.exe and also
why stsadm cannot backup the site.

Hopefully this extra info helps. Any ideas?

Have you tried using STSADM to do the backup?

Thanks

I am using smigrate.exe to backup and move a sharepoint site to a new
server. However on one site I am having a problem backing up the site.
When I run smigrate the error message I get is:

ERROR: 589831 Server error: The folder that would hold URL 'subwebname'
does
not exist on the server.

The site works normally and I don't have any issues with it, I just need
to
make a backup copy of it and I am unable to! Any ideas? Any help is
greatly appreciated.

Mike
