How to Find my Database Backup Location

  1. Open Workplace Server Administrator Console on your Workplace Server
  2. Go to the SQL Tasks tab.
  3. Double-click on the “Backup Database” task or click it and press ‘Edit’
  4. “@BackupName” sets the name of the outputted file.  “@BackupLocation” will be the location on the database server (typically the same PC for a default install) where the file will be placed/exists. Commonly ‘C:\Backup\’ is used for this variable
  5. If there’s no file at the backup location, you can click ‘Process Now’ to attempt to run the task and see if it errors for a specific reason (usually file permissions or a drive being full), or change the @BackupLocation variable to change where the backup is saved.
