Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set up log shipping on my local machine but I'm stuck at a point where the OK button is disabled and I'm not able to go ahead with the installation. I'm trying to put the backups on my local. The Ok button is getting enabled only if I type something in the network path. I'm sure there should be an easy solution to this but I can't figure out how.
Thanks guys.

its just the way the wizard works, it expects a share to be set up because normally the copy job on the destination server will need to be able to access the directory where the backups are held, this is best done by setting up a share and granting the sql server agent account of the destination server read access to it.
If your backup directory is say d:\backup in the network share it would accept d$\backup whether the backup directory was a share or not
what I am trying to say is it can be a share on your local machine, not a network share.
