Database backup directory is invalid

Hi,

I'm using Database Maintenance Plans in Enterprise Manager and I'm trying to backup a database to a different server using a UNC (i.e. \\servername\backupdirectory).
I have done this successfully with two SQL Servers but every time I try to set the third SQL Server to backup to a UNC I get this message:

The complete database backup directory '\\servername\backupdirectory' is invalid.

The only differences that I can think of is that the server is Win2000 Advanced Server and the SQL Server is Enterprise Edn, where as the two that work are Standard Edn and are on Win2000 Servers (not Advanced).

Does anyone know why I am unable to do this on one SQL Server when I have had no trouble on the other two SQL Servers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

TroyIf I had to make a guess, I'd say that the working box was using a domain login for the SQL Server service, and the non-working box was using localSystem.

Thanks for your help.
