SQL Server Operating System Error 5: "5(Access Is Denied.)"

SQL Server Operating system error 5: 5(Access is denied.)

SQL Server database engine service account must have permissions to read/write in the new folder.

Check out this

To fix, I did the following:

Added the Administrators Group to the file security permissions with
full control for the Data file (S:) and the Log File (T:).

Attached the database and it works fine.

Cannot bulk load. Operating system error code 5 (Access is denied.)

This is quite simple the way I resolved this problem:

1. open SQL Server
2. right click on database (you want to be backup)
3. select properties
4. select permissions
5. select your database role (local or cloud)
6. in the you bottom you will see explicit permissions table
7. find " backup database " permission and click Grant permission .

your problem is resolved .

mssql '5 (Access is denied.)' error during restoring database

The account that sql server is running under does not have access to the location where you have the backup file or are trying to restore the database to. You can use SQL Server Configuration Manager to find which account is used to run the SQL Server instance, and then make sure that account has full control over the .BAK file and the folder where the MDF will be restored to.

During Restore Database the operating system returned the error '5(access is denied.) why?

Thank you all for the comments. I found the answer here:

SQL Server Restore Error - Access is Denied

Relocate all files to folder should be checked in the 'Files' section: just like in the post. And here is photo:

Also, in the 'Options' section I checked the 'Overwrite the existing database(WITH REPLACE)' and after that it worked.

Cannot open backup device. Operating System error 5

Yeah I just scored this one.

Look in Windows Services. Start > Administration > Services

Find the Service in the list called: SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) look for the "Log On As" column (need to add it if it doesn't exist in the list).

This is the account you need to give permissions to the directory, right click in explorer > properties > Shares (And Security)

NOTE: Remember to give permissions to the actual directory AND to the share if you are going across the network.

Apply and wait for the permissions to propogate, try the backup again.

NOTE 2: if you are backing up across the network and your SQL is running as "Local Service" then you are in trouble ... you can try assigning permissions or it may be easier to backup locally and xcopy across outside of SQL Server (an hour later).

NOTE 3: If you're running as network service then SOMETIMES the remote machine will not recognize the network serivce on your SQL Server. If this is the case you need to add permissions for the actual computer itself eg. MyServer$.
