SQL Server Backup Destination List

When you do a new manual backup, you could remove this path and put in the path to a more appropriate place, IE. not your C drive.

This path is then held and shows the next time you do a manual backup.

If you are at all interested the backup details are all stored in the system MSDB database.

As a look but don't touch task for you, put in the name of your DB in the last line of this script and you'll see a lot of information about the backups pertaining to that database....

USE msdb
GO


SELECT *
FROM Backupset b JOIN dbo.backupfile f
ON f.backup_set_id = b.backup_set_id
JOIN dbo.backupmediafamily mf
ON mf.media_set_id = b.media_set_id
WHERE Logical_Name like '%YOUR DATABASE NAME%'

geek_vj, thanks for the tip.  I went away on a business trip came back and the list was cleared.  I'm not exactly sure how that happened but that's what happened.  I do know no one else would have been in SSMS.

To my recollection I had never done a manual backup like that before as I generally use a script.  I had looked in the registry but did not see anything relating to a Distribution List.  Your tip reference will be a good start if I ever decide to use that feature again.

Thank you!
