Hey guys,

Im new in SQL server, Need you advise on SQL script to do a full database backup to a different server where the database is saved. for example:

Database Server IP Address = "10.1.2.1"
Destination Server IP Address = "10.1.2.34"

Can the saving be done on in C drive folder? does it reques any form of authentication?

Thanks

The service account running SQL Server on the source system will need access to a shared folder on the destination system. Once that is set up, you can use the UNC path in the backup:

BACKUP DATABASE {database} DISK='\\uncpath\share\folder\backup_file.bak';

Note: backing up across the network can be problematic and may fail if the network has any latency. It is generally a better method to backup locally and copy the file to the other server.
