| Hi there,I have created a mapped drive with the hope that sql server 7.0 can backup to it. However, I get the following error: Operating system error = 3(The system cannot find the path specified.) when scheduling the job.Do I need to restart the sql service for it to recognise the mapped drive or is what I am trying to do not possible?thanks - matt |

| When you map a drive, that is mapped for you in your session. The SQL Server service can't see your mapped drive.Can you use UNC paths instead ?Damian |

| Matt the backup must be in reference to what the SQL Server sees.I use plain network paths for backups to my snapserver but I run SQL 2000, I do not know if it will work on 7.JimUsers <> Logic |
