How To Change The Default Backup Data Directory In SQL Server 2000?

Dec 29, 2006

Hi,

I had SQL Server 2000 installed like below:

Installation Directory = C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server

Default data directory = D:

Default log directory = D:

I found out that the data is stored in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdata and backup is done in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLackup

However, Microsoft says we should never put the ..ackup and ..data folders in the same partition.

My question is: How can I move the path of the backup directory?

I checked the registy but this is what I found:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSSQLServerMSSQLServer

..BackupDirectory=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLackup (<-- note it is pointing to C: not D:)

..DefaultData=D:

Can somebody help please?

Connot Create Default Directory??????????

Apr 23, 2007

I went ahead and installed RS even though it was clear Microsoft install was confused (re: preivous post). Now I get to experience the thrill of configuration hell.



Report Server Virtual Directory had a green check. Unfortunately the Name block says <Not Set>. When I try to create a New... default directory I get the error message: "The virtual directory could not be created. The previously set virtual directory will still be used."



Does anyone know where the <Not Set> virtual directory is stored on the computer?











addl info:



ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: The virtual directory specified already exists. Specify a different name.


at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.CreateVirtualDirectory(String virtualDirectory, String path)

Default Data Directory And Access Upsizing

Apr 15, 2006

I've created a number of very large databases in Ms Access that I would like to upsize to SQL Server Express. I changed the default data directory location to point to a separate drive with over 400GB of free space on my home pc. However, everytime I try to upsize or link databases using the MS Access Upsizing Wizard the data is saved in the Data directory on my current hard drive and is not saved in the default location I specified. If I create a new database in SQL Express it is saved to the new location. Any ideas on how to force upsizing or uplinked data to go to the new default data location?

Creating A Database In MSSql 2000, But NOT In The Default Directory

Sep 28, 2002

I am trying to find a solution to a thorny problem I have encountered...

I am a newbie in Sql Server 2000, but have quite a bit of experience in databases, both on PC and mainframe.

I am currently writing a program, which needs, among other things, to create Sql Server databases, to be located NOT in the default Mssql2000 directory, but in the user's home directory.

I am using an ADO connection and trying to execute it, as follows:

The text of the relevant part of the program goes like this:

Dim strCreateDatabase As String
Dim MyCn As ADODB.Connection

Set MyCn = New ADODB.Connection

With MyCn
.ConnectionTimeout = 25
.Provider = "sqloledb"
.Properties("Data Source").Value = "MOP"
.Properties("Initial Catalog").Value = ""
.Properties("Integrated Security").Value = "SSPI"
.Open
End With

strCreateDatabase = "Create Database Rimon on (" _
& "Name = Rimon, Filename = '\mopusersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Data.mdf', " _
& "Size = 20, MaxSize = 100, FileGrowth = 5) " _
& "Log on (Name = 'Rimon', Filename = 'c:usersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Log.ldf', " _
& "Size = 2, MaxSize = 10, FileGrowth = 1)"

MyCn.Execute strCreateDatabase


Both the name of the Sql Server and the Win2K server is MOP.

All the directories exist, and I have full access to them.

When I try to run this command, I get the following message:

File
'\mopusersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Data.mdf' is on a network device not supported for database files.

When I omit this location, it works just fine.

If I run it on the server, using another directory, it works just fine.

Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help!

SQL 2012 :: SSRS Virtual Directory - HTTP GET Method Appending Default Path

Sep 27, 2015

There was a 2008 SSRS service running on server "abc".

I have a .Net UI that uses the wsdl at [URL] ....

They deployed SSRS 2012 service on a new server "xyz".

DNS points abc to xyz. Nslookup looks right shows both xyz and abc alias to the same IP.

when I try to go to [URL] .... it redirects to xyz as expected for the host name but the HTTP GET /ReportServer is appended with GET /Reports/ReportServer which doesn't exist and I get an 404 error.

I have no admin rights to see anything and I have no idea if it was an inplace upgrade or a new server. I assume it's new since the actual server name changed in nslookup. Why would it append the default virtual directory when it makes the hop to server "xyz"?

How To Get The Drive Letter And The Backup Directory

Jan 16, 2008

Hello,

I'm looking to get the drive letter and path for my backups programmatically. I am monitoring my sqlserver boxes remotely and need to get this information to determine if my backups will fit on the backup drive.

I'm looking for either a sql statement or a stored procedure to accomplish this.

For example...the backup script states:
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_create_subdir N'H:MSSQLBackupmaster'

I need to know how this script gets H:MSSQLBackup

Thanks in advance.

Database Backup Directory Is Invalid

Apr 27, 2004

Hi,

I'm using Database Maintenance Plans in Enterprise Manager and I'm trying to backup a database to a different server using a UNC (i.e. \servernameackupdirectory).
I have done this successfully with two SQL Servers but every time I try to set the third SQL Server to backup to a UNC I get this message:

The complete database backup directory '\servernameackupdirectory' is invalid.

The only differences that I can think of is that the server is Win2000 Advanced Server and the SQL Server is Enterprise Edn, where as the two that work are Standard Edn and are on Win2000 Servers (not Advanced).

Does anyone know why I am unable to do this on one SQL Server when I have had no trouble on the other two SQL Servers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Troy

Restrict Backup To One Directory Pr. User/database

Sep 30, 2004

Hello

I have an MSSQL server where I would like to create a couple of databases, create one user pr. DB, and give them db_owner permissions.

Giving a user db_owner permissions allows the user to make a backup of the database, which is a good thing and I would like it to stay that way.

My problem is that I don't know how to restrict the user from saving the backup to any directory or filename that he wants to.
He can not get out of the directories that the user MSSQL is running under has access to. But he can overwrite another users backupfile or placing the file in the MSSQL-programfolder.

The users is using SQL Server authentication.

Can I restrict the backup procedure to save to only one file or in one directory?

What is the best practice regarding backup if you give your users db_owner permissions?
