    Thanks,

    I got this:

    nametypetype_descphysical_name

    RenaissanceServer2DISKE:\MSSQL\DataRenaissanceServer.bak

    RenaissanceServer_LOG2DISKE:\MSSQL\DataRenaissanceServer_log.bak

    MASTER_MSDB2DISKE:\MSSQL\DataMASTER_MSDB.bak

    I noticed the vendor didn't put the device to our backup drive which is G:\Backup,

    How can I change the device to it?

    Thanks,

    Use sp_dropdevice to delete the current backup device and recreate it using sp_addumpdevice. Both are detailed in Books Online.

    Point out to the vendor that backing up to a dump device with INIT will be overwriting backup sets, do you really want to do this? What is your SLA for "getting the data back"?
