Hello

I can't seem to get my testsetup working with the WH Backup Wizard.
My setup is one webserver with two shares dbbackup and dbupload, as described in the manual. Then i have 4 SQL Server 2005 instances running on a cluster. Each instance have unique sa passwords.

The WH Backup works fine on the first instance as it have the correct password for the sa account configured in web.config.

But what do I do about the remaining 3 instances where myLittleSQLAdmin have the wrong password. I have tried the following.

In web.config added a SysAdminLogin_2 and SysAdminPassword_2 but that crashes the application. Do I have to configure all SQL instances with the same sa password?

Regards
Bo

You should be able to define each sa password.
In the config xml, you must specify a unique sysadminconnectionid for each server.
Then in the web.config, you can add SysAdminLogin_id and SysAdminPassword_id

For instance:
config.xml
Code:

<sqlservers>
  <sqlserver
     address="Srv1\Inst"
     name="SQL 001"
     sysadminconnection="true"
     sysadminconnectionid="1"
   />
  <sqlserver
     address="Srv2\Inst"
     name="SQL 002"
     sysadminconnection="true"
     sysadminconnectionid="2"
   />
</sqlservers>


web.config
Code:

<add key="SysAdminLogin_1" value="sa" />
<add key="SysAdminPassword_1" value="pwdABCD" />
<add key="SysAdminLogin_2" value="sa" />
<add key="SysAdminPassword_2" value="pwd1234" />

Thanks for the quick answer.

Do you have a place where I could see a list of possible key value pairs and their usage in the different configuration files?

Here I'm thinking about the sysadminconnection key as you clarified the purpose of the sysadminconnectionid key.

I have an additional question regarding the guide for translating myLittleAdmin.

In the guide you mention the Resourcer for .NET by Lutz Roeder. I have downloaded the program but it wont let me edit a .resources file.

What am I missing here?

This parameter has to be set to true if you want to use a sysadmin connection with the backup and restore wh wizards.

Weird... this is the resource editor we use and never had any trouble with it. Our version is 4.1.0.0

Anyway, you can use another resource editor if you prefer.

My version is the latest 5.1.3.0 and I can't find a way to edit the file.

I discovered that Lutz Roeder wrote an application that is directly aimed at .resources files here: http://www.lutzroeder.com/dotnet/ called Resourcer for .NET

That works.
