BACKUP PROBLEM

I am running SQL Server 2000, Verson 8 and within enterprise manager I do a
daily backup to another system on the network (from my server - server
running Windows NT). I have recently added a new machine running Windows XP
Professional verson 2002 service pac 2. I am unable to see this system when
I try to add a device to back up to. I see all other systems (which are
running Windows 98) but not the new system. The drive has been mapped and I
seem to have no other connection problems. How do I get recognize this new
system? Any help?

I would recommend you backup to a local drive and then copy the backup
file across the network. This should cause the backup to occur much
faster.
