Hi all,

I want to take my backups to a shared folder on a different location, But i could not.

First i added my sql server machine local system account as COMP1$ to the sharing securities and also to the permissions. Because in my SQL Server Computer (COMP2), SQL Services start with this account.

But, While i am taking backup, i get ACCESS DENIED error.

Second Case, When I restart My SQL Server Services on COMP2 with a domain account and give permissions to the this domain account on SHARED LOCATION(on COMP1). It succeeded.

Where am i doing error?

Is syntax wrong while adding COMP1 Computer Local System Account as COMP1$ ?

Now, Adding COMP2's Local system Account is preferred. What do i have to do?

Waiting your responses

Regards,

DBA in the making

This problem is the reason why SQL Server should be setup to run under a domain account. The setup process will grant the account the necessary permissions to run SQL Server.
