It depends on how it is setup.  If you go into SQL Enterprise Manager, do you 
have any database maintenance plans?  If so, change the backup device 
there.....if not, it's probably running as a SQL Server Agent job, and can be 
pointing to a permanent or temporary backup device.
 
If it's a permanent device, you can find those listed in Enterprise Manager and 
change the path.  If it's temporary, you have to change the backup T-SQL to 
point to the new location.....
 
Let me know if you need help changing these (or finding out which method you 
are using).
 
Hope this helps;
 
James

Subject: [windows2000] OT - SQL Server Question


Please pardon the OT.  
 
Due to disk space considerations I need to move the location of the backup file 
(*.bak) for our SQL Server 2000 database. 
 
I have Googled for this but seem to come up empty.  My experience with SQL 
server is limited and the help is appreciated.
 
Thanks
 
Ron
