Introduction

In MS SQL Server the backup wizard does not show the network's path to store the backup database. The reason is the MS SQL Server instance is running under Local System Account.

Follow the steps given below to make a backup of a SQL Server database in any network path.

Step 1

Start | Run | Enter services.msc

Step 2

Stop the MS SQL Server service

Step 3

Right Click and choose the properties in MS SQL Server Service.

Step 4

Choose the logon tab from the tabbed pane.

Step 5

There will be two radio buttons, Local System Account and User Account. Select User Account. Once selected there will be two text boxes to enter the username and password down below the selected option.

Step 6

Provide the username of the person who has rights to access network locations and the password for him or her.

Step 7

Close the tabbed pane and Restart the Service.

Step 8

Now the Backup wizard will show the network path.

Hi,
I tried this on my local sqlexpress installation and it does not work. I have set the "logon As" property for my sqlexpress service as my domain user, who has full rights to domain network. But the backup wizrd shows only my local drive. the domain user is an Administrator on my machine.
Please Help

Working.. fine. Username is a network username who has permisstion to write to the network backup destination folder. One more thing add this network user to the administrator group of the local system where sql server is working.
