Hi

I'm running SQL-server 2005, and when I try to backup, I don't see any
networkdrive, only C: is available.
Any suggestions ?

Tanx in advance !

It is best to type manually the UNC path to the network share, like
\\server\share\db_backup.bak

Also, make SQL Server is running under an account that has permissions to that share (normally a domain account).

If you have the disk space, backup local, then have a process to copy
the file to the remote location. In most cases, this will be a lot
faster, and you don't have to grant permissions to the SQL Agent
account for the remote share if you don't want to. YMMV.
