Move (backup) full archives

  1. Select the archive.
  2. Select Maintenance → AutoArchive.
  3. On the Properties tab, check Move full archives.

    Archives are full when they reach the size specified.

  4. Enter a destination directory or browse to it using the Browse... button. Be sure to verify that the destination drive has enough free space to move the entire archive.
    Note

    Because of the operating system security restrictions, the destination path cannot entered as a mapped drive. Instead, enter the destination as a UNC path (\\machinename\sharename\folder). This is also the case when browsing for the destination. Replace any mapped drive destinations with the appropriate UNC path.

  5. Click OK or select the Data or the Status tab.
    Note

    For MSSQLServer and SQLServerAgent services to access remote machines to move the archives, the service accounts must be modified with the Service Control Manager. The destination (where the archive will be written) must be a shared device and the MSSQL services logon account must have Change permission to the destination folder.
