Secret Server can be configured to backup to a network share instead of a local folder on the server.
- The Secret Server IIS Application Pool must be running as a Service Account
Follow this KB article
- You must grant access to the network share (using Windows ACLs) running the Secret Server IIS Application Pool
(so that Secret Server can backup the application folder and zip it to the network share)
- You must then grant access to the network share (using Windows ACLs) running Microsoft SQL Server
(so that Microsoft SQL Server can backup the Secret Server database to the network share)
You can change the service account running Microsoft SQL Server by going to SQL Server Configuration Manager.
- Configure the Automated Backup screen in Secret Server (under Administration | Backup). It is really important to realize that the two File Paths are from two different perspectives - one is from the ASP.NET app server and the other is from the Microsoft SQL Server (these may be on the same box in your environment, or they might not be depending on how you have configured your Secret Server)
