| I like the topic name!Does a SQL Server backup have to be on the local machine?No space left for initial full backup. I want to use a remote server. Right next to it. This is not a big or busy database. 3Gb.I just can't see, in the windows / wizard, if you can put \\dev-HRWeb/d$ anywhere. It seems to like just local devices. This must be possible! When you have no space, on either C:\ or D:\... what do you do? I am not a Windows Server person. Are you? I'll get this stuff in place, in a day or so - more devices - but can I temporarily save my poor data remotely, maybe after midnight, ASAP..? |

Instead of clicking [...] to choose path and type in a filename you can directly input path AND filename.I think the dialog is named Target on Harddrive.That should be no problem if your server can reach the path...

| Of course. I post toooo kwik. I sensed that it might be a subtle feature to only allow backups to direct physical devices.Ta |
