Using a Remote SQL Server to Store Alarms

About this task

If you have chosen to connect Historian to a remote SQL Server, you must ensure the following conditions are met:

The Historian Alarm Archiver service must be run on a user account that has privileges to log into the SQL Server using Windows Authentication.
The Default Backup Path, found on the Archive screen, must be a shared directory that is accessible to both the Historian Data Archiver and the remote SQL Server. It is recommended that this shared directory be placed on the same computer as the Historian Data Archiver service.
