Backup SQL Server DB on Network Drive Big Problem. Please help

Hi All,
I want to using T-SQL execute BACKUP DATABASE command job on the SQL
Server Agent. But, it occured the following error:
My Job Owner is "sa", Category is Database Maintenance
My execute command is ..
BACKUP DATABASE NorthWind TO DISK =
'\\servername\Backup\NorthWind.BAK'
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User Machine\Administrator.
The last step to run was step 1 (DBt Backup).
Please advise.Hi
Make sure that your SQL Server Services are running under a Domain Account
and that the user has correct permissions to the share.
To see the error message, run the T-SQL from Query Analyser.
Regards
Mike

and make sure the MSSQLServer service is running under an account
"Domain\User" instead of Local Service.
2. Go to the share on the network drive and look at Sharing and Security to
make sure that same user has read/write permissions on the share. You can
probably have your network group do this for you.

I checked that MSSQLServer service is running under Local Administrator
Account, and I also change the job owner to Local Administrator Account,
but it still occurs following error:
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User LocalMachine\Administrator.
The last step to run was step 1 (MyTesting Backup).
If the Backup Network Drive of PC just only running on Workgroup. How to
using T-SQL Backup Network Drive ?
Please advise.

Right. It can NOT run under a Local Administrator account.
It needs to be a domain account.

You can TRY to give it a username and password that the computer containing
the network drive also has, but I'm not sure it would would work.

When I change the owner to "Domain Administrator" to execute the T-SQL
to backup database to the network drive.
It display the following error:
The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (Domain\Administrator)
of job Test Backup has server access (reason: Could not obtain
information about Windows NT group/user 'Domain\Administrator'.
[SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8198)).
But the Shared Network Drive PC haven't connect Domain, runing on
workgroup only. I can't directly to access that PC. Please advise.

hat would be strange, as
the error messages you posted referred to "Domain\Administrator"...
