SSRS - Uploading a Report and copying to a network directory

Question

We are using SSRS and when we "Upload" an .rdl file using the web report manager we would like to automatically take a copy of that .rdl file and put it on a network drive.

I'm not familiar with SSRS at all and I don't even know where to begin to look. I'm assuming that there is an .API.

Is there a way to capture via the web report manager after the file has been uploaded to the DB that I can then make a copy of that rdl file to the network path of my choosing?

Update: It appears that Microsoft doesn't allow customization of the Report Manager. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157147(v=sql.90).aspx

So maybe the answer is that I can't do what I want to do.

Answer 1

You can't do what you are asking using Report Manager. However you can use the rs.exe utility provided with Reporting Services to create a script that will download the rdl file(s) from the report server to disk.

Answer 2

Looks like you are trying to keep the back up of the SSRS reports. Here is the link which downloads the file to your local drive. You can modify the same for copying to the network location if you want.
