I have SQL2000 & SQL2005 running on Windows 2003 servers.
I am using the Database Maintenance tool to backup selected databases. I
realized the only drives I can save these backups to are the local drives. We
don't have enough space on these local drives, so is there anyway to see the
network mapped drives for this procedure?
Thanks,
Ted
Don't use a mapped drive. Use the UNC pathing instead. You need to ensure
the account SQL Server is running under has permissions to read and write to
this share first.

Can't see mapped drives
Hi,
Am unable to see mapped drive when going to restore db in
sql 2000 enterprise manager. Service is set to start
with a lan acct. acct is in the local machine admin grp
and remote machine admin grp.
Any suggestions:-)
Thanks in advanceDo not use mapped drives for backup\restore with SQL server. Use UNC names
instead. SQL may or may not see a mapped drive correctly but will always
find a UNC share that it has permission and connection to.

You cant see the mapped drives in Enterprise manager. Rather you can
directly mention the UNC path directly in Enterprise manager or use
Restore database command from Query Analyzer.
Restore database <dbname> from disk='\\machinename\share\backupfile.bak'
with stats=10 With
Move 'logicaldatafile' to physcaldatafile',
Move 'logiallogfile' to physcallogfile'
stats will show the restore status
Thanks

Can't see all drives in a cluster within Enterprise manager
When I am in Enterprise Manager to create a new database, I click on the location of the data and log file, I only see 1 drive where SQL Server was installed...How do I get SQL Server to display all the other drives the node owns in the cluster? I can view them under My Computer and within the Cluster Administrator. Each node owns it's own drives. But I should be able to see all drives owned by the node when browsing to create a new database so I can assign different drives for the Data and Log files.
Any ideas would be helpful
Thanks
WarrenPerhaps you have to restart SQL Server?

Warren|||Dear Tibor,
Same result. Still can't see all the drives?|||Sorry, that was just a wild guess...
Re-reading your original post, you say that you only see the drive where SQL Server was installed.
Do you mean the local drive? That would imply, methinks, that you didn't install the SQL Server as a
clustered SQL Server. SQL Server should not show the local drives when creating databases etc, it
should only show the "shared" drives.

> Dear Tibor,

You have to take one node off-line and add dependencies (IE. the other drives) to the SQl Server , bring that node back on-line and repeat for the other node. This should be your last step then, re-test failover and moving the cluster between nodes
Whew
