Hi,
for backups with service manager, I need a fully qualified filename on
the server computer (C:\mydir\mybackup.fbk) for the new backup file and
it's not trival to get it because at customer site we normally don't
know anything about the servers directory structure (at least if I
connect via an alias).
On the other hand, if I provide just a simple filename as identifier for
my backup file (e.g. "mybackup.fbk") this file is created (at least in
our case) within the "windows\system32" directory. This is a bad choice,
isn't it?
Now my "feature request":
The situation would be greatly improved if the backupfile would be
created next to the database in cases, where nothing else has been
specified.
What do you thing about this? Do we miss something? Do you have better
solutions?
