An error was received while reading backup file- Cancelling Operating system error 995(The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.).

Hi,

We have been getting the below error while restoring a database onto SQL Server 2008. We are using lite speed and performing a full restore. When we restart the server, the restore is completed cleanly but every 3 or 4 days once, the restore is failing. We have tried everything from installing a patch that was supposed to fix it but it is not.

Error Message:

BackupIoRequest::ReportIoError: read failure on backup device 'VDI_7D17E958-2468-45A8-B7F0-EB73D0BF0F3A_3'. Operating system error 995(The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.).

The backup is getting validated successfully but failing while trying to read it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sree
