Dear Friends,

I am having some trouble trying to create a network dump device for backups!
I have no trouble creating a local device, such as "D:\backup\backup.dat,"
but when I try to create a device on another machine on my network, I the
following error when I try to backup: "Cannot open backup device ... Device
error or device off-line."

Here is the script I am using to create the device:

sp_addumpdevice 'disk',
 'NetworkBackupTest3',
 '\\Utilities2\E\backuptest3\NETBACKUP.DAT'

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Richard
