Error while taking the backup

Error while taking the backup....
I used the following command
backup database test to disk = 'e:\bktest05172005'
"e:" is basically a map drive.
Error :
Windows - Delayed Write Failed
Windows was unable to save all the data for the file
\Device\LanmanRedirector\nSys0120\share\bktest0517 2005. The data has been
lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or
network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.
OK
Any idea ?
Thanks
Hi
Do not use mapped drives. Only use UNC paths.

me ;-)
If the Agent uses a mapped drive to backup the database on it, a logon
script has to be defined for that service account mapping the drive for it.
