[MS SQL Server] Backup to remote location fails

[MS SQL Server] Backup to remote location fails


Backup to remote location fails

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 01:01 AM PDT

I create a maintenance plan on a server named Rem-rem-db to backup the database to another database server Rem-rem-db2.I specify the UNC Path \\Rem-rem-db2\dbbackups.I granted permissions to the SQLServerAgent Account to read and write to that folder.I logged in to the remote server using the SQLServerAgent Account and created a file to ensure that the account did have permissions but the job fails.It can't access that path.I have done this before and it worked.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Date 10/12/2013 9:40:12 AMLog Job History (Backup_RemressPP_Prod_Remote.Subplan_1)Step ID 1Server Rem-VUE-DBJob Name Backup_RemressPP_Prod_Remote.Subplan_1Step Name Subplan_1Duration 00:00:01Sql Severity 0Sql Message ID 0Operator Emailed Operator Net sent Operator Paged Retries Attempted 0MessageExecuted as user: RemRESSIG\SQLServerAgent.

Using a script, I got a number for PLE. How do I conclude that this PLE is optimum for my instance?

TempDB question

Does having multiple tempdb files on different drives help with contention?
