The short answer: you can't - not like that anyway. The networked drive you create on windows only exists for the current user or even the current session of that user. Since bacula runs as a service, it will not see the remote drive. You have 3 options here: 1. Mount the remote FS on the backup server and unmount afterwards 2. Install a file daemon on the remote system you want to back up in the first place (unless you have a good reason not to). 3. Run 'net use //yourserver/share J:' or similar to mount the drive using the system account on windows before backupping (use the RunBeforeJobOnClient - or similar - command). Option 2 is the best solution in my opinion as I found remote mounting scripts to be error prone at best. Also, SMB/CIFS is slow as hell - making me guess that a direct FD <-> SD transport would outperform a backup by a factor 2 at least (if I look at my own network).
