Cannot back up files to another sql Server.Access Denied

  • I have recently moved all my development database to a new server and now am trying to set up to back up all the databases. I have set all the permissions to the folder to allow the backup to another serve but I keep getting an access denied to the back up location. I have all the permissions necessary sysadmin and I still get the error. I am guessing I am missing something extremely simple but it is driving me crazy. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can try please let me know.

    Thanks

  • Does the account running SQL have access to this folder?

  • sorry, are you trying to backup to a different server than SQL is running on?

    is SQL running under the system account or a domain account?

  • Yes. I am trying to back up to a different sql server. I have a domain account running services and that same domain account has permissions to the folder on the back up server.

    Yes. I am trying to back up to a different sql server. I have a domain account running services and that same domain account has permissions to the folder on the back up server.

    I would double check that ... this is definitely a permissions issue from your service account. Can you access that file path/share using the account in which is running your SQL Server?

  • Have you checked both share level and NTFS permissions?
