During the ZIP phase of the the SQLBACKUPandFTP, the C: drive is used at the temporary location of the compress file until the ZIP process is completed and then it is moved to the designated drive and folder area. How can you change this ZIP temporary work area to another location as in another drive than using the C: drive. In our shop we designate the C: drive as our system drive only and use other logical partition for data, work areas, etc.

Try the following:
1. go to "Advanced Settings"
2. in "Large database dackup" section specify "Temporary folder"
3. in "Compression Settings" section check "Zip to temporary folder before moving to a network location"

Thanks for the reply Mike. 5.5.x version doesn't require checking the box for ZIPing in the temporary location, the code must default to use the path if one is entered in the write sql backup to temporary location. The 4.3.x version doesn't honor either of the entries; it will zip in the windows\temp or the user's local settings temp folder on the C: drive. We will be upgrading to the v5.5.x to keep the zip from using the C: drive. thanks. JLee.

You're right. In v5.5 we've upgraded the Zip engine to minimize using a temporary folder for zipping.
