Hi SQL_ME_RICH,
Thank you for your forum post.
As you have discovered SQL Backup does not support mapped drives and never will do. I believe it is a Windows limitation, when an account logs in as a service it behaves differently from when the account is used to log in as normal Windows user. One of the limitations is the support of mapped drives.
SQL Backup will support the path to a physically connected disk or UNC path to a network share.
Many Thanks
Eddie
