Hi,
I'm trying to backup a sql server200 db. This is DB serves a web site thus resides on a hosting server.
Using the 2005 management express that is currently connected to the remote DB (named TheMoney) i'm running the following command line:
BACKUP DATABASE [themoney] TO DISK = 'd:\backup.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'TheMoney-Full Database Backup',
SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO

The error is:
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'd:\backup.bak'. Device error or
device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details.

How can i overcome this?

Tx
