An "Event ID 489: The system cannot find the path specified" error is logged in the Application event log when you restore SharePoint Portal Server data to another computer

SYMPTOMS

When you back up content from a SharePoint Portal Server-based computer, and you then restore the data to another SharePoint Portal Server-based computer, an event similar to the following may be logged to the Application event log.

Type: Error
Source: ESE
Category: General
Event ID: 489
Description:
An attempt to open the file "Drive:\Program Files\SharePoint Portal Server\DATA\eeaf336f-97c5-4fe8-b6d8-ef239bd1cc5a\Sps.edb" for read only access failed with system error 3 (0x00000003): "The system cannot find the path specified." The open file operation will fail with error -1023 (0xfffffc01).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
