it states:

Both Administration Server and SQL-server on which Administration server database is located should be able to write into the defined folder

Could anybody translate it to English?
If I have a folder on Administration Server how can SQL-server have rights to it?
Rights are assigned to users/groups, and on SQL server there is nobody logged in

Environment with NO AD

Thanks

Seb

Nobody does the backup?

Or it is so obvious & I can not see it?

Thanks

Seb

hello,

I didn't get your issue, Can you please explain your issue.
What do you want to do, I mean Get a BACKUP OR Restore your BACKUP.
else please mention in clearly..

Thanks.

The extraction of the sql database will be done using the account you set up to connect to your database.

That means if you used the SA account, you have to set up right permissions on your backup destination folder so that SA account can write there. Also, if your SQL server is not installed on the same machine, you have to :

- share the destination folder and set right permissions
- use the UNC path in your destination in the backup admin kit task
- add -use_ts in your command line if running klbackup.exe in command line

cheers, it works ;-)

It does NOT work

SA is not a real windows user account and as such can not have the rights to remote file system assigned

No DOMAIN, no AD

Server A K Admi Kit- Administrator A, Password 12345
Server B SQL server - Administrator B, Password 54321

As per above there is no way to specify rights on server A to a shared folder A to be accessed by Administrator B from server B

The ONLY way that works is when the shared folder EXISTS on SQL server itself (which it completly stupid - I do not want to have shared folders on my SQL server!!!!)

If I haven't mistaken, you have Administration Server and SQL Server installed on different computers and those computers are not in any domain -- you have workgroups only.
In that case you may do following:
1. On both computers (with SQL Server installed and with Administration Server one) create account "DbAccount" with the same password. Put the account to the group "Administrators" on both computers.
2. Set up SQL Server service to run under that account "DbAccount".
3. Turn off "Simple file sharing" or UAC (depending from Windows version) on both computers.
4. Create a folder for backups on the computer with administration server. Share it (as "KlBackups" for example) and set up read/write access for group Administrators. Then make sure that it's NTFS permissions allow full access to group Administrators.

Now you may run klbackup utility or backup task using UNC path to that share you've created. UNC path may be "\\computer_with_AK\KlBackups\DailyBackups".
