microsoft sqlserver smoextended backup failed: How to solve?

The NOINIT clause is used in the backup statement. Each subsequent backup is appended to the existing backup file as a result of this. Check to see if the Destination had two sources. After we backup with only one destination, removing the other. We don’t get the error  microsoft sql server smoextended backup failed anymore.

As a result, remove one of the destinations specified in the Back Up Database wizard’s ‘Destination’ section. If it only backed up to one file previously, it should only have one destination.

Step’s in resolving the issue

1. The old MybobcaresDB.bak file was copied from the default backup location. The default location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Backup
2. Then, remove the file from there.
3. New version of DB was backed up to the same path. It is now complete.
4. Finally, copy the newly created backup to the location of your choice.

If none of the above options work, try deleting and re-creating the “Backup Device” object. The Backup Device, as we all know, is an object that saves a path to our backup folder and backup file. It also appears to save other data, such as the media family.

Another option to resolving the issue

Expand the Server Objects section, then the Backup Devices section, in the SSMS interface. Locate the named backup device for the database and path where the error microsoft sql server smoextended backup failed is occurring. Delete and recreate that object. That should solve the problem.

1. Firstly, click on Options
2. Then click the ‘Restore the database file as:’ section on the right side. The first column shows the original file names for.mdf and.ldf files, while the last column shows the file name you want to provide and restore the database file as.
3. To see the file name, click the browse button and scroll all the way down to see it. Change it to our preferred name.
4. Finally, my DB restore was successful after I changed the restore database file name to.
