Temporary Folder & .bak backups form remote SQL server

Destination Issues
1

Hi,

I’ve recently purchased the standard version to backup all the 500 DBs in our SQL server.

I can’t install anything on the “SQL Server” itself as I only have access to the “App Server”. I’ve then installed SQLBackupandFTP on the “App Server”, created a Backup Job as Microsoft SQL Server (local), set Temporary Folder as X:\tmp where X:\tmp is a local folder on the “SQL Server” shared and mapped on the “App Server” as X: as well.

Theoretically this would mean X: is accessible from both the SQL and App servers but unfortunately backups fail with typical “can’t find part of the path” error…

Is there anyway I can use SQLBackupandFTP to create .bak backups from a remote SQL Server without using custom scripts?

Thanks
