    You CAN change the default backup directory using SSMS very easily:-

    - From Object Explorer, right-click on the server and choose Facets.

    - In the Facet dropdown, choose Server Settings.

    - Change the BackupDirectory to your chosen folder.

    No server restart is necessary. You can verify the change by checking the registry key.

    Thanks James, I did not know you could change it from SSMS.
