Paul writes "Dear Sir,

The sqlguru stated, "My favorite method is ... BACKUP DATABASE Foo TO DISK
'\\myserver\myshare\foo.bak' WITH INIT

I try this and get a "Kernel" error in the Server Error Log saying, "BackupDiskFile:
CreateMedia: Backup device '\\MyRealServer\d$\SQLServer\Backup\Data\Test.BAK'
failed to create. Operating system error = 5 (Access is denied).

The UNC pathname is correct and the 'Data' directory will appear if I
copy/paste into a Start/Run dialog.

Also, if I use xp_sqlmaint, I get the same O/S error 5.

Am I doing something wrong in SQL Server, or is this an operating system
problem. We're running Win NT 4.0 SP 6a and both the SQL Server and
remote server are in the same domain.

Paul
Columbia, MD"
