When setting up a Microsoft SQL Backup Set, I cannot list the available SQL servers, what can I do?

You can try running “osql –L” in a command prompt, you should see the following:

Servers:
(local)
SQLSERVER1\INSTANCE1
SQLSERVER2\INSTANCE2

If you have a firewall installed, please disable it. UDP Broadcast must be allowed.
