I have an external network back up disc mapped at Y:\ , when I try to create back up on disc Y:\ I have
BACKUP DATABASE [DATABASE_NAME] TO DISK = 'Y:\backup\backup.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = @BackupName, SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
when I run it following error occurs
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_backup, Line 10
Cannot open backup device ‘Y:\backup\backup.bak’. Operating system error 3(Path not found.).
Use a UNC path (e.g.
\\server\share\backup\backup.bak). Whilst you may have theYdrive mapped, the user account that SQL Server is running under doesn’t. And it’s that “user” that is going to perform the data access.
