I am trying to setup the Log Shipping between two SQL Server 2005 instances which stay on different Windows-2003 servers.
Both have exact same verion of OS and SQL Server installations [in fact, they are VMs].
Both the systems can talk and user on one box can create/delete the files on other box.
It is strange that it is complaining the about the file which is on the local drive and which has full permissions.

Primary Server:SQLhescom =>Windows-2003, SQL Server 2005
Secondary/Server:SQLhescomlog=>Windows-2003, SQL Server 2005


The error I am getting is,
===================================

Cannot open backup device '\\SQLhescom\backup folder\logshipDb.bak'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).
RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

------------------------------



The error is coming when I am telling it to backup current, restore onto another server and set the secondary as Standby.
[I tried the other way also; means, creating the primary and standby databases on the servers and then also there was transaction log shipping problem]
Can anybody tell me what I am missing here for the Log Shipping configuration.
Any suggest is well appreciated.
Thanks

It seems the SQL Server service account doesn't have access.
