    In order for me to map a drive to a folder ii have to be able to access that folder and in which case i can't. And the name i'm using is

    \\BRANCHSERVER2\e$\Backup\databasename.bak

    \\BRANCHSERVER2 is that actual name of the server not an alias and the Backup folder is the name of the backup destination folder and the share name
