Fallback backup location

bsherwoodofplanview opened this issue · comments

For the backup capability:
I have inherited servers that I am not allowed (by company policy). Backup jobs on either server are targeted at a shared folder. Currently, as configured, if I loose access to that shared folder, I need a fall back location for the backups to automatically be written to.

Using mirroring is not an option in our scenario. Documentation does not indicate that if the backup destination is not writable it would backup to the server's configured default location instead.
