Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate	Ian My guess is that somewhere along the line you've set the temp - I'll bet your dev machine has that folder. I make sure that I'm using the right temp path by having TfREngine.TempTablesPath := GetWindowsTempPath; in my datamodules OnCreate event. To save you asking about it function GetWindowsTempPath: string; var TempPathName: array[0..250] of Char; begin try if GetTempPath(250, TempPathName) <> 0 then Result := TempPathName else begin ForceDirectories('C:\Temp'); Result := 'C:\Temp'; end; except ForceDirectories('C:\Temp'); Result := 'C:\Temp'; end; end; Roy Lambert

Ian Branch	Hi Roy, The above is all on the Customer's Server. I have tested and proved on my Dev machanine and was trying to implement it on te Customer's server when this issue came up. All the work so far has been with the Server, EDBSrvr & EDBMgr. So the apparent Temp Path it would seem is what EDBMgr has picked up and I can't see anywhere to change it. If, in fact, I can.. Regards, Ian

Unless EDB server is running under "ijbranch" user account the store path points to a user folder which might simply be inaccessible. In general when setting up any paths or such for EDB server you need to consider relative paths on the server and also what account the EDB server runs under. I'd create a new folder structure from root of C or such (ie.. C:\EDB and then C:\EDB\Stores\<store> etc) and set permissions manually so there is no chance of path being user specific and maybe not accessible once you run EDB server as service (vs interactively during your login session) Raul

Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate	Ian You have two choices - edit the servers ini file or start the server as a normal application so that you can edit the options. The ini file on my development machine is C:\ProgramData\Elevate Software\ElevateDB Server\edbsrvr.ini - you may need to hunt on your customers. If you start the server as a normal application you can right click and select restore. Click stop and you then have an option to edit settings. Roy Lambert

Ian Branch	Hi Team, Thank you all for your input. On a whim I logged in as the Server PC Administratot rather than as me with Administration rights. I had none of the issues setting it up I experienced under my log in. It all workd/works as desired now. The first unofficial backup by the edbsrvr Job happened at 0530 this morning. I will monitor it for a few days before releasing it formally for the Customer. I should probably do a small app now to allow the Customer to implement his own timetable. Regards & Tks again, Ian

Tim Young [Elevate Software] Elevate Software, Inc. timyoung@elevatesoft.com	Ian, This means that your store has the wrong path. How are you creating the stores that you're using for the backups ? If it's part of your application installation process, then you need to make sure that when you create stores, that the paths used with the stores are valid from the perspective of the EDB Server, the user account it is running under, and the machine that it is running on (in case you are using mapped drives).
