Topic: loss of backup options

I've only just noticed the internal Recorder backup options have gone from my copy and the "View or Change Backup Location..." gives the error "Can't find backup device NBNData_backup" - I've tended to backup using SQL Management Studio, so not noticed when this happened.

Any solutions?

Re: loss of backup options

This can be fixed using Management Studio. You need to setup a  backup device called NBNData_Backup The way this is done may vary a bit depending on which version of Management studio you are using. It is done through  Server Objects/Backup Devices.  Right click on Backup Devices and select  New Backup Device. Give the new device the  name NBNData_Backup and browse and select the location for the backup. You should now be able to access this through Recorder 6, both to run the backup and change the backup location.
