Why is drive D hidden? Even so, directly accessing the drive should
work. How are you running backup?

www.imceda.com|||It doesn't matter if you are an administrator or not. What matters is what
the MSSQL service account has, or does not have, access to.
If you make any changes to security, you will have to recycle the MSSQL
service. This will force the service account to log out and back into the
server, thus acquiring any new permissions and or settings.
Nevertheless, David is correct, if the appropriate permissions are set, but
just haven't been recognized by the SQL Server, it does not matter if the
server "sees" it or not, you should still be able to "specify" the path and
have it work.
Just because the GUI is not behaving like you'd wish, does not mean you can
not get the job done. You should be using scripts more often anyway. It is
easier to track and control your activities. SQLEM is for newbies cutting
their teeth as they ween themselves from MS Access.
