Operating system error 5(Access is denied.)

Actually I should write this post before my last post Network shared Backup , which I shared yesterday. I have decided I will share this week on network database activity. Show this is my 2nd post on the same. While I was started to backup, restore and creating a database on network shares I faced below errors. And most of the cases issues are related to Start-up services. Generally when we install SQL server the service will be Local or Network in this situation it will not work until we will not change start-up services or we will give full access to the network shared folder.  


Error:-

Msg 3201, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot open backup device '\\192.168.XX.XX\ITDev\suman\bak\abc.bak'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

RESTORE DATABASE [world2] FROM  DISK = N'\\192.168.x.xx\ITDev\suman\bak\abc.bak' WITH  FILE = 1, 
MOVE N'world' TO N'\\192.168.xx.xx\ITDev\suman\bak\world.mdf', 
MOVE N'world_log' TO N'\\192.168.xx.xx\ITDev\suman\bak\world_log.ldf',  NOUNLOAD,  STATS = 5

GO
Solution:-

Open SQL Server Services (Run->compmgmt.msc). You will see like below




Now change the start-up user which have full access on the file.

After changes we will see like below…


Now try again restore command...

RESTORE DATABASE [world2] FROM  DISK = N'\\192.168.1.3\ITDev\suman\bak\abc.bak' WITH  FILE = 1, 
MOVE N'world' TO N'\\192.168.1.3\ITDev\suman\bak\world.mdf', 
MOVE N'world_log' TO N'\\192.168.1.3\ITDev\suman\bak\world_log.ldf',  NOUNLOAD,  STATS = 5

Yepppppeeeeeeeeeeeeee
