SQL DATABASE BACK UP TO QNAP(TS-x53Be Series)

[ayotade]

Both QNaP and SQL server are on the same network and I have successfully mapped Qnap(map network drive) to the SQL server.
I want to set up a regular back up of the database(s) directly from SQL server to QNAP and not the server. When trying to do this, only local drivers show as paths where I can back up.

So in summary, I want to back up SQL database to Qnap. Please how do I go about this?

unclear what os version the sql is installed on

write a script that dumps the backup to a folder on the qnap (unc path)

Thank you for for your response dolbyman. I want to backup directly to qnap from sql server.

read my question again....that is not what I asked

[ayotade]

The SQL server is installed on windows 2008 R2 Standard

if it is a MSSQL, just backup the database (bak)

in destination just type in

\\NASNAMEORIP\share\folder\backupname.bak

and the backup should work fine
