Network Backup

  • I want to take my backups on a network location but when i use the following command

    EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'mydevice',

       '\\servername\sharename\filename'

    BACKUP DATABASE MyDB TO mydevice

    it gives the operating system error permission denied, although i have full permissions on the share.

    can anyone help on this. i would be great

  • Be sure that the ID that the SQL Server Agent is using has permissions on the network share.

  • Check that the SQL Server service log-on account is a domain user and not the Local System account.

    SQL BAK Explorer - read SQL Server backup file details without SQL Server.
    Supports backup files created with SQL Server 2005 up to SQL Server 2017.
