Problem Using EM Scheduler To Backup

Shandy

I get the following error message when performing a scheduled backup via EM. The command to run SQL Backup is pasted from the script window and works when I run it from within SQL Backup.

Any idea what the issue might be? H is a mapped network drive. I am using XP Pro/MSDE 2000 and the server where the mapped drive is W2000. I have full rights to the share and folder I am trying to create the backup in.

It occurred to me half way home that was what the issue was or more probably the H drive was not mapped the same ;-) It had been a long day ...
