Hello,

Hi - Just to clarify we are using Windows authentication to launch Management Studio using a local windows account. We have already proven that write permissions are active as we have been able to create a new file within the folder for the shared resource.<br />
Please see screen shot below:<br />

I'm trying to backup to a shared network location using the backup task within maintenance plans. The instance is connected to a local account and I'm able to navigate and write to the directory on the SQL Server. When I execute the plan I receive a successful result but when navigating to the directory it's blank. The SQL version is SP3.<br />
<br />
Any help is very much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Regards<br />
