SP2010: Backups failing with error: Operating system error 5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105). BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally

Hi,
Had this error a few times and finally got a solution


Operating system error 5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105).
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally


First be sure that your sp users got the required rights.
So share your backup folder on the SQL server and give your sp_admin, sp_farm and sqluser full rights



If you have done this then you can try the following:
Open SQL Server Configuration Manager
Expand SQL Server Services

Go to the properties of your SQL Server instance and change the Log On As to Local System.

Restart SQL and try again
