Another archival or restoration process is currently . . .

I have a user getting the following error:

Another archival or restoration process is currently in progress on this computer. Cannot continue archival at this time.

I am told that this server is functioning otherwise. Copy and Backup functions seem to cause this error.

Anyone have any idea where to start - I've turned up very little searching forums and the Internet on this error message.

Hi,

This happens with Analysis Services 2000 or 2005 ? If it's 2005, I'm not sure what you mean by Copy function (in AS2000 I assume it's copy database in Analysis Manager).

What the user is doing - looks like a right mouse click on a cube - then choosing Archive Database. She thne clicks on Archive - thats when she gets the error.

The window also says - you have choosen to archive a database on a remote server. Please comfirm the path - we have verified that she has rights to the path.
