The web admin tool allows you to create and restore a backup file. I would like to make a copy of the backup files. However, I have searched the hard-drive on the host/server machine, and I cannot find them.
Where are they located?
Background: The machine that I am using as my server is running a Win 7 64-bit, and MS SQL 8.0 Express. (Perhaps Win 7 permissions is preventing me from "seeing" the files.)
Thanks

Re: Vault 6.0 Backup File Location
The Admin Web Client backup uses SQL Server's built-in backup. The backup location is determined by the default backup location in your SQL Server.
You can find this in SQL Server Management Studio by right-clicking on the sgvault database, selecting
Tasks->Backup and then noting if there is a backup path.
Another way to determine the path is through the registry. Look for this registry key (the actual key path will depend on your version of SQL Server and your SQL Server instance name). Check the BackupDirectory value.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer
