Hi everyone,
I have granted to access and backup database of remote server on local network(LAN). I want to backup that database and store file backup on my computer driver but i don't have any option to do that, the file is created on remote computer driver.
Is there anyway to create file on my computer driver?
Thanks everyone
Best regards

From BOL:
Backing Up to a File on a Network Share
For SQL Server to access a remote disk file, the SQL Server service account must have access to the network share. This includes having the permissions needed for backup operations to write to the network share and for restore operations to read from it. The availability of network drives and permissions depends on the context is which SQL Server service is running:
To back up to a network drive when SQL Server is running in a domain user account, the shared drive must be mapped as a network drive in the session where SQL Server is running. If you start Sqlservr.exe from command line, SQL Server sees any network drives you have mapped in your login session.
When you run Sqlservr.exe as a service, SQL Server runs in a separate session that has no relation to your login session. The session in which a service runs can have its own mapped drives, although it usually does not.
You can connect with the network service account by using the computer account instead of a domain user. To enable backups from specific computers to a shared drive, grant access to the computer accounts. As long as the Sqlservr.exe process that is writing the backup has access, it is irrelevant whether the user sending the BACKUP command has access.
Important:
Backing up data over a network can be subject to network errors; therefore, we recommend that when you are using a remote disk you verify the backup operation after it finishes. For more information, see Verifying Backups.
Specifying a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) Name
To specify a network share in a backup or restore command, you should use the fully qualified universal naming convention (UNC) name of the file for the backup device. A UNC name has the form \\Systemname\ShareName\Path\FileName.
For example:
BACKUP DATABASE AdventureWorks
TO DISK = '\\BackupSystem\BackupDisk1\AW_backups\AdventureWorksData.Bak';
GO

so, if i don't have permission to access share resource, i can not backup to remote pc 🙁

It's not your account that needs access to the share, it's the SQL service account.

As Steve stated, it is the sqlserver service account that needs to be granted write access to the path that you want the backup to be written to.
If you are creating a backup using UNC to your own computer,
be sure not to break the DRP for the db !
Check Books Online "Backup database" and use the keyword "for copy_only"
If I didn't have access to the db backup, I would ask one of the
sqlserver server admins to provide me a copy of the backup file, in
stead of taking the risk of being accused of data-theft !

Thanks everyone,
I guess i had my answer, what i need to do right now is go and ask admin db for backup file.
(in my case, it is not steal, and i know my boss will not give me that file :crying: )
thanks everyone again

i would say if you dont have access to it there is possibly a very good reason

Hi,
We backup our remote SQL Server to Google Drive automatically via SQLBackupAndFTP. Definitely, recommend. More details at https://sqlbackupandftp.com/blog/how-to-backup-remote-sql-server-database
