MSSQL_NOOB (1/15/2013)
Thank you all for the corrections.Anyone with any comments on how do I archive the database? Since MSSQL doesn't support UNC path for MDF - getting error "the file .mdf is on a network path that is not supported for database file" nor a mapped network drive.
Support, from SQL 2008 without Trace Flag 1807 http://www.brentozar.com/archive/2012/01/sql-server-databases-on-network-shares-nas/ but this should be considered as temporary solution.
