Error: Database of “(local)” not found

Error

Database of “(local)” not found is shown in the detailed backup report.

Cause

This is most commonly due to an authentication issue between the backup software and the SQL server.

Often caused by the “Windows Domain Authentication” user password being changed.

Resolution

  1. Update the backup software “Windows Domain Authentication” with the correct password.
  2. Check the online backup scheduler system service and also update the password under the “Log on” section, if it is using a different user to the “Local system” account.
