Problem

This is a really strange one, when attempting to copy a file from a network location to another Windows server, I got this error.

Error 0x80070780: the file cannot be accessed by the system

Solution : Error 8×80070780

I did some searching, and got the usual annoying, run CHKDSK, reformat drives, one poster had even replaced the computer with another one! I came across one post that didn’t fix the problem but pointed me in the right direction. the SOURCE location (I was copying from) was the folder I use on one of my test servers is a DROPBOX folder, I use it so I cand download files on my MacBook, and they sync to the server for me to use on my test network. I was attempting to copy a file (in this case a license file for Veeam) to my Veeam server, by opening an Explorer window on the Veeam server, browsing to the NETWORK location on the Dropbox folder on another server.

Why is that relevant? Well, I thought if I could not copy it TO the destination by initiating the copy on the destination server, what if I went to the SOURCE server and browsed to the destination servers C drive and initiated the copy FROM the source.

Which worked perfectly. Admittedly this is a work around more than a fix, but my Veeam is licensed, I’m happy, move on.
