The File Exists Errors

The File Exists error is typically thrown when running Event Log Backups and Windows Sharing is either not enabled on the target host or a firewall is blocking Windows Sharing between the two hosts.

Verify the error:

  • Open a command-prompt.
  • Type::
    \\SERVERNAME\c$
  • If you are unable to view the administrator share, verify Windows Sharing is enabled on the target machine and verify a firewall is not blocking Windows Sharing.
