I realise there is a command:
BACKUP DATABASE [DB Name] TO DISK [PATH]
Is it possible to backup to a remote location? - E.G. the web server rather than the database server?
Yes. Exactly the same syntax as the normal backup command, but replace the path as appropriate, eg:
BACKUP DATABASE [DB NAME] TO DISK [\\server\share\path]
There's an example on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179313.aspx that shows this.
You will need to make sure that the SQL server account is able to write files to the named path.
i created a remote full/transact backup template which you can try it out, it checks the local disk space and remote disk space before transfering.

I'm writing a SQL Server stored procedure to backup a database into a network shared location.
The command as follows: (whole D drive has been shared)
BACKUP DATABASE MyDB
TO DISK = '\\192.168.1.50\d\Backups\MyDb_20200615-09.54.08.BAK'
The command is working fine for a local path, but for the shared path, it throws the following error:
Operating system error 1909(The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to.).
How to get rid of this error?
Thanks in advance.
Yeah, longstanding issue- UNC paths are a big pain with SQL server commands, and often not usable at all. Two possibilities:
Drop the backup onto a local disk and then copy it to your network path.
Map the drive. Note that there are significant and painful access issues because most SQL Server instances run as local SYSTEM and won't have the ability to access network drives.
Edit: the permissions issue is the reason you’re getting locked out. The SYSTEM account credentials won’t work on other machines. You need to create an account with matching credentials on both machines and run the SQL server instance as that account. This can have other implications. It’s easier (and possibly safer) to drop the backup to local disk and copy it with script credentials.
I have a primary SQL Server where backup job is running every night and backup gets stored in local drive.I want to copy that backup and store that in my fail-over SQL Server.
Options I tried:
I created a backup job to save that backup to my fail-over server drive, but I get an error "access is denied for the \xxx.xx.xxx\D$\backup path"
Is there a script to copy the backup and save it in another server drive?
Please see the screenshot
I have seen some post relating to this topic, but there is no accepted answer.
is it possible to create backup saving some files (copy and replace) from a server to another, not necessary the same provider ?
Thanks !
rsync setup through cron is the canonical way of doing this
I have been working on a SQL Server database designing since long now and I have observed that when a .bak file is mailed or kept and downloaded from ftp site, it gets corrupted.
When I try to restore, it gives me 3013 error code with messsage:
"Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
I tried RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK='C:\abc.bak' as well but it says
VERIFY DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Any idea why this is happening and also, is there a better way to move the database file from one server to another (I do not have the access to source server)
Thanks in advance.
For FTP make sure that you use binary mode.
Did you try to send plain attachment to yourself and compare the results with the files from sent and received email?
As mentioned here
You may need to repair your mdf file first using some tools. There are lot of tool available in the market. There is tool called Restore MS SQL Database which is very useful to repair the mdf files.
The issue might me because of corrupted transaction logs, you may use tool Restore MS SQL Database to repair your corrupted mdf file.

When you restore a database backup you need to go into the restore options and update the paths of the MDF/LDF files to wherever you want them on the new machine. The default is to keep these paths the same and obviously they may not exist on the new machine.
When you did the restore, you pointed the data and log files to the new drives - you may have done this in the GUI (Management Studio) or in TSQL. When you try the reattach, you need to do the same thing - just change the file locations.
Firstly you take the backup of SQL database including Log transaction files also. Then detach it by right clicking on it. Now you can change the location of MDF file and then restore. it.
