Backup to Location over VPN

Hi,
I am having problems with creating a backup onto a machine that is connected
to the domain via a VPN connection.
When i do the back up it does not recognize the directory that I have specif
ied, yet when i use Windows explorer I can copy and paste to my hearts conte
nt.
I was just wondering if the backup of a database can be done to a location o
ver a VPN.
Thanks in Advance

account you are using when you log in to QA or EM. SQL Server is most
likely running under the local service account which knows nothing of the
VPN or the Domain.
