You need to identify which user SQL Server is configured under and change security settings there.Tue, 24 May 2011 04:12:41 GMTGrant Fritcheyhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1113811-357-1.aspxyour id or the group in which your id belongs, doesnt have the permission to modify or copy the file in c drive.

I noticed that the backup of sql unble to save into C drive(NTFS), but when my vendor tried manual and schedule backup to D drive, it was sucessful. I'm logging in by using admistrative ID and into SQL using windows authentication mode. Could it due to security setting in C drive or something else ? Any idea would be appreciated.regards,Jimmy[/quote]Jimmy can you post the errors from error log and application logs too.Can you check the sql agent log-on user has access to the C drive .Tue, 24 May 2011 02:24:35 GMTmuthukkumaran Kaliyamoorthyhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1113811-357-1.aspxHi There,Lately I've installed new server with downgraded to windows 2003 server, and I am using Sql Server 2005 Express with custom internal application.
