I’ve found a strange error. I have 3 backups scheduled. All set for ‘simple copy’, to a network drive. Their backup settings are all the same, apart from, obviously the source & destination locations. However, one of the backups sometimes fails with the error ‘Backup process failed with code 47’ - does anyone know what this means? What is wierd is that it doesn’t happen all the time…in fact, that job is running successfully at the moment, yet a few minutes ago refused to run, giving that error code.
Hi Peter,
I’m seeing this problem too, however, I am doing a simple file copy backup of a local drive to a local drive as opposed to local drive to a network drive. Apparently this problem isn’t network related?
What OS are you running on the client and backup machines?
I am running Windows Standard Server 2008 and am backing up files from my D drive to my F drive - neither of which are system drives nor contain system files - so it doesn’t seem to be a permissions or an open system file problem.
Another difference between what you are seeing and what I am is the fact that I can never get my scheduled job to run once it produces this error. I have to recreate the backup (which is a big pain).
Any help from someone is greatly appreciated.

I have the same code 47 problem. Iam trying to back up files on C drive to an external drive on G. Hope some one can help 'cause this appears to be a good program.
I’m using Windows 7 (32bit version) on the main machine, the network drive is on a NAS, copying from local drive to network drive. Annoying thing is that I had to recreate the jobs, they all worked fine for a while, now two of them have stopped working - and these are the two that were always working before…both with error code 47. The irritating thing is that the one that was giving the error, which I had to recreate, is working fine!
Here are the log files - as you can see, the first two fail:

I have almost the exact situation. I am running Windows XP Professional. Recreating the schedule jobs that run with this error, but not editing them did not work. I am still am getting the same error. Any other suggestions?
