Hi
SQL Server and SQL Agent need to run under a domain account that has
permissions on the destination share. Do not map a drive, rather address it
as \\servername\sharename. EM does not understand it, so you can not backup
using the maintenance plan wizard. You have to write T-SQL code (BACKUP
DATABASE ...) and run it as a SQL Server Agent Job.
