Sql Server Backup to UNC

Question

I\'ve create a maintenance plan on my SQL Server 2005 server. The backup should be written to another server. I\'m using a UNC path for this. The user running the SQL Agent jobs

Answer 1

I've backed-up up to UNC's mmany times. Make sure it's not a permissions issue w/ the account that sql server and sql agent are running as. I wouldn't back up to the hidden admin share like that perhaps it's the $ that's causing the problem. Create a share and backup to that. \server\share NOT \server\c$\folder
