Alternate backup folder for SQL Server in Replicate running in Linux

[marcioribeiro]

Hi,

I'm running Qlik Replicate in Linux. I've configure a SQL Server source with change processing mode as "Backup Logs Only". Now I'm trying to configure the option "Alternate backup folder". First I try to configure as "\\x.x.x.x\backup", however it failed. Then I copied the backup to Linux server using winscp, and it failed as well.  In both cases, Replicates concatenated an double slash "//" between the folder  I put in "Alternate backup folder" and the name of backup file. See this example:

mssql_locate_log_storage_unit(...) Outputs: StorageUnitDevice=D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\testdb_inc.bak
mssql_compose_alternate_backup_file_spec(...) : /tmp/backup//testdb_inc.bak

Alternate backup file '/tmp/backup//testdb_inc.bak' does not exist. Waiting 10 seconds...

Have someone know how exactly to configure this "Alternate backup folder" option in a Replicate running in Linux ?

try :

need to set a path that is available to the SQL Server as the backup is reading using an API via the SQL Server.

SQL Server is running on Windows, so Windows format path.
