mapped drive and backups

I mapped a drive to a different server, which has space, then tried to use
Ent. Manager to create a backup job to the mapped drive. Only, the mapped
isn't there only the local drives but the mapped appears locally to the OS.
I forgot something yes?
Thanks

|||Hi
EM will not see mapped drives. Use T-SQL and backup to the UNC path
\\servername\sharename\file.bak.
Make sure that the SQL Server account is a domain account and has
permissions on the share.
