Scheduling

Hope this is the right place to put this problem. If not, sorry, tell where
it should be.:-)
Anyway.
Just setup a DMZ. All works well. Some things I want to backup on a
schedule to a server in our trusted net work. I have the DMZ mapped as
drive Z on one of my servers. I can use Windows Backup to make my backup as
long as it is interactive. If I schedule it, it will not work. Says the
directory in the .bks file is not found. Yet that same exact job works
perfectly interactively. Even tried making a bat file to simply copy what I
need. The bat file works great, as long as you don't try to schedule it.
Scheduling works, I have other jobs scheduled on this server that work fine.
I have also tried on 2 different computers. Same thing.

Anyone have any idea what up with this thing? Yes, I looked at security.
Using Administrator ID.

If you are logged off, the drive mapping no longer exists. So you have to
create a batch file to map the drive with the scheduler.

map.bat =
if exist h:\*.* net use h: /del
if exist i:\*.* net use i: /del

net use h: \\datastor\c$
net use i: \\datastor\d$

That I understand but it doesn't work while logged on either unless I do it
interactively. Take the same exact job, schedule it to start in 2 minutes.
No go.:-(
