solutions:1) Verify the account has the correct privileges to access and backup the share. On Windows, verify the account being used is not the System Account.
2) Verify if the drive is or is not a quorum drive. If so, refer to the Appendix entitled "Configuring the backup-archive client in a cluster server environment" in the Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide.
3) Verify if the drive is or is not formatted. Format or exclude as needed.
In this particular case the P:\ drive was added that day by the windows administrator but not formatted yet. After the newly added drive was formatted the backup was performed without a problem.
