SMS Backups

Hi there.

I'm trying to configure SMS 2003 to do a backup but nothing's happening. I've checked the error logs and it says that I have an invalid backup destination path but the backup is being performed to a local drive inside the SMS installation directory. The SYSTEM and Admin accounts have got access to the directory.

The one thing I have noticed from the logs is that it appends a SITECODEBackups to the path. Do I just type the path or the filename as well? Or is it something completely different I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

well after a lot of messing about it turns out that it helps if you read the error message which quite clearly states that you cannot backup the SMS site into a folder within the installation directory.

Backed up site to a separate directory on the same drive but in the root and hey presto.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,
so that the conversation will remain readable.
