Daily Backups SQL 2005 Standard Edition

With SQL 2000 I was backing up to a NAS server by mapping a drive share to
Z. Is there a reason that I cannot do this in SQL 2005 now or should I be
focused on a networking issue?
Thanks!
ChrisBackups are always done with the privileges of the account SQL Server is
running under. Does this account have access to that share? You never want
to use mapped drives. Use UNC pathing instead.
