Simple Issue - but confused

  • Hi gurus,

    I am puzled with this?? It seems simple.

    I want to backup my database to the different pc. I have administrator rights on that pc. I have maped that pc to my pc. When I go to select the folders it shows the drive. but when I select the drive it doesn't show me the folders.If i type the folder name manually it gives me an error saying

     The Directory in Which you want to Create this file does not exist.You must specify Different Directory.

     

    Bit urgent

  • Yes at times I have also got similar problems. What you can do is that still mention the path of the drive and folder name manually and try taking a backup. It should be working fine. Also see that you have read/write righs on the remote pc.

    Let me know of your progress.

  • Nice to s a person in a same boat

    What u have to do is , Ensure the MSSQLServer & SQLAGent services account has required privilege on that pc, and rather than using from enterprise manager you can continue the process using BACKUP statement and mention the required path.

  • Yes. You can use the use backup database command in QA. But if you need to schedule it for future use, you can schedule a job rather than everytime passing it manually.
