Hi, We are moving the backup location for where our stsadm full backup goes. When I updated the file path, I am now getting a The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized to the new location when running the command. I have verified that Share and NTFS permissions match exactly on the new server to the old. Is there some other setup that I am missing? I have triple checked permissions (the SP user has full access,etc). All that is changing is the backup location (see below). Old command: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN\stsadm.exe" -o backup -directory \\OldServer\SharePointBackup\sharepoint -backupmethod full New Command: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN\stsadm.exe" -o backup -directory \\NewServer\SharePointBackup\sharepoint -backupmethod full Thanks for any help!

I even went as far as giving Everyone full control and still received the same error.
