    but in my client location they have the webserver & database server on the same system but still i am not able to take the backup frm the client system across the network setup as i have the LAN set up with mine

    i get error msg " cannot open backup device .............................. device error or device offline

    i am using SQL 2000

    wht setting do i need to check & modify to get the back up

  • I don't quite understand.

    Are you trying to backup the database across the network to a UNC path? If so, make sure that the SQL Server system account has the correct share and ntfs permissions to the path.

    Can you post the backup command that you're running.

  • have you read about sp_adddumpdevices....have a look.
