For studying purposes I want to upgrade AdventureWorks sample database from MS SQL Server 2017 Express edition to Developer. I am using DMA for that, and can't understand the meaning of Shared Location Option. What I have to specify in that field in order to continue my migration? What's the use of backupshare?

Thanks for your time!

That is for backups that can be accessed by both source and Target servers.

Think of it Just like logshipping has a backup share that is accessed by primary backup job and secondary copy jobs.

    you have to specify the share e.g. \\servername\backups\ which will be accessible by both servers. Commented Aug 1, 2018 at 16:31
