I know this is an elementary question, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get the backup to write to a file on another machine. My backup to a local disk protects me from stuipd human errors, but obviously if there's a hardware problem on the machine I'll be in bad shape. Right now I copy the backup file manually. There has to be a better way. I am running SQL Server 7 with the latest service packs."

Old topic, but... How can you select a network location when you're backing up through a maintenance plan?

You can't but perhaps you can manually type it in.

Ok ... I have same problem. I found how I can add network (maped drive) location. But, I still have error;
Under Log I see error "Operating system can not specified path" ...I double checked path, and it is correct.
