Dear all,

When I try and create a transactional log shipping I get the following error; I have done the following

- Made sure the sql server service account has access to the network share folder and also where the cop files are going to

- make sure the locations where the backup and restore file are located can be connected t

Would someone let me know if I'm missing something or what I'm doing wrong please?

Message
BackupDiskFile::CreateMedia: Backup device '\\networklocationname\transactionlogfile.trn' failed to create. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply! I had to add the sqlserver service account to the network share and it worked.
