Save to archive fails because of insufficient SQL Server service account permissions

Issue: Configuration Manager does not save a configuration to archive and logs an error message in the tool log. The message says that SQL Server has insufficient write permissions to the destination folder.

Likely cause: As part of the save to archive, SQL Server creates backups of the PME databases. The database backup files are saved to the destination folder under the security context of the SQL Server service account. If SQL Server does not have write access to the destination folder, the save to archive is not successful.

Resolution: Try saving the archive to a different location or edit the SQL Server service account permissions and try saving to the same location again.
