Hi,

One option is to map drives using logon, startup or some other script. If
you use batch file to perform backup you could just add another line into
batch file to map the drive.

Command line would be:

net use x: \\server\share /user:username password

where
x: is name of network drive
\\server\share is name of computer and share where the backups will be
stored
username is username created on "server"
password is a password for user created on "server"

I hope this helps,

Mike
