User response

Make sure that the file you want to use exists, it has the read rights set for the user that is running the operation, and it is in the standard file encoding of the system. For example, on Windows the expected file encoding is ANSI. Review the configuration information in the Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server client manual specific to your operating system. If the problem persists, ask your Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server administrator for further assistance.
