Job schedules move files
I have to schedule the following as jobs

2.move the file to another server \\serverA\backups\customer
Step 2
Move "\\serverA\backups\custome
Job schedule :
Step one is done
I used move to accomplish step 2. No luck

As Yveau says...
The account that is used to run the Windows Service - Server SQL Server Agent must have write permissions to the backups folder on server B. IF using move then it also needs to have delete (or modify?) permissions on the backup folder on server A.

The above would assume that the account running SQL Agent has the necessary permissions to run xp_cmdshell

I get the WARNING: The following job steps cannot be reached with the current job step flow logic.
[2] Move File to ServerB
Is this the intended behavior?

NO, is it two separate job steps (backup, then move. If so, you'll need to check your workflow and make sure that after successful completiong of step 1, you execute the next step.
Enough permissions for the SQL Server Agent account, as that is the account that performs your jobs for you ?
Hope this helps ...
