failure on backup device

I have a created a backup device that maps to another server. When the job
runs that refences that backup device it is sucessful...for the first cupple
times that it is scheduled to run, but then it fails with the following
message
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSSQLServer
Event Category: Kernel
Event ID: 17055
Date: 5/10/2004
Time: 7:03:57 PM
User: Domain\dbserv
Computer: SQLSRV
Description:
18210 :
BackupDiskFile::RequestDurableMedia: failure on backup device
'\\srv1\sql$\datastore\db105.BAK'. Operating system error 64(The specified
network name is no longer available.)
I have recreated the backup device and still get the same results.
Any help would be great!Hi,
Ensure that you start the MSSQL Server and SQL Agent service using a Domain
account which got
previlages to \\srv1\sql$\datastore\ folder , share.
As well as this error might come if your network is very slow. Check the
network by issuing a ping <ipaddress> to the host machine.
If it gives request time out in between, then you have to contact your
network admin to rectify the issue.
Thanks
