Hi, I have two MS SQL Server 2016 Std Service Pack 2 instance running on two outsourced OS machine. One Windows Server 2016 and one Windows Server 2012 R2. Then I recently added a new database and modified my existing maintenance job but then I got like "cannot find the path specified, OS error 3 and the path is the backup destination path and file.
Windows SQLServerAgent service is run by SQLSERVERAGENT and "NT Service\SQLSERVERAGENT" has full or modify access there. It doesnt matter if I create a new maintenance job it still the same problem. The problem also exist on both server, but only on the new databases, with the existing databases there are no problem.
Unfortunately, becuase the two OS servers are outsourced I dont know what happens in the "background" but I have an account with administrative rights.
I cheated and tried to put both "Nt Service\MSSQLSERVER" and Nt Service\SQLSERVERAGENT" in the local administrators group but nothing helps. Any idé whats wrong?
I also have a service request with the outsourced firm where I still wait for help.
