Can you provide more specifics on the OS type, CiscoWorks version, etc.

Have you verfied that the backup directory you are trying to specify does indeed exist? Like if I am configuring CiscoWorks to use /var/tmp/CSCOpx/backup as my backup directory, I need to first create the directory and give it correct permissions. I don't believe CiscoWorks will create a directory for you if you just try typing in a name for a new directory.

Ciscoworks2000 CD One 5th edition in Windows 2000.

The destination is another windows 2000 server

The network directoy already exist.

I try:

\\station\backup

How about mapping a drive to the server instead of specifying the server name?

i.e. Y: is mapped to myWin2k server

Network Directory then would be Y:\backup\

Just a thought.
