Zeeshan,

As Ben states you need to change the ini<sid>.sap file.

Change the following 3 paramters in the file and then kick off the backup in DB13. I am sure it will work!

backup_dev_type = disk

backup_root_dir =
<server>\<your-backup-folder>

stage_root_dir =
<server>\<your-backup-folder>

Reward points if useful!

Cheers,

Bidwan
