Backup to a remote server

[ecobb]

I'm trying to set up a maintenance plan to backup to another server on the network. I can't seem to remember how to specify the path for the backup. I tried this:
"\\server15\E:\SQLbackups", but it doesn't seem to like that. Whenever I try to save it in Enterprise Manager, it get the error "The database backup directory is invalid".

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

In the Windows Explorer map that server in the network.
Than in the Enterprise Manager go to Management, right-klick on the backuip to create new backup device.
Hit browse button to serch for the mapped drive ..

and that's it.

Thanks Mihail, but I figured out what the problem was. I had a space in the path.

Thanks!
