Hello -
Working with a 14 day evaluation edition of SQL Backup 7.6. Was able to backup my database fine locally, but I am getting the following error when attempting to backup to a mapped drive (which is out on my SAN and a more realistic place for me to gauge speed against). Also - The path "H:\Backups" does exist - it is my home directory and I have full control over it. The folder "Backups" also exists so I am a bit thrown by what the error below is trying to say by "Failed to create output folder". I specify it in the dialog box as I am building the backup sequence (not via T-SQL but the GUI).
Any thoughts on if this is a restriction of the eval version or if something else is amiss here, would be most helpful. Again - I have full control to the H drive, can created edit and delete anything I put out there.
Thank you and here is the error from the dialog in SQL Backup upon failure...
