in this video how to backup sql server databases to a network share drive but you got the error access denied even the shared folder is mapped into sql server normally to fix it in the domain environment you must grant read and write permission for the sql server computer account to shared folder now grant ntfs permission for sql server computer account on shared folder in a work group environment you cannot specify computer account because it not exist in the file share server let create an user in the sql server and file share server with the same username and password in the sql server in the file share server in the file share server add share permission and ntfs permission for the newly created user on the shared folder in the sql server change the service account to the newly created user then restart sql service and that's it thanks for watching and see you in next videos
