Snapshot error 2024 (disk space)

I have searched the newsgroups for this error and find it quite often. But,
I know the path is correct, the drive is not full (it's a network drive) and
I have plenty of memory (1GB).

So, now I'm stumped as to what is causing this problem. If I use a local
drive, the snapshot is created without a problem, but now that I'm trying to
send it to the network, it's choking.

The path is similar to the following:
ab.abcdefghijklm.net\xyz\USA-HOUSTON\CTOP\abcdefgh ijk lmnopq\HES\Work in
Progress\Travel\Database\Itineraries\lljo - Itinerary (2004-01-26).snp


The path actually starts with "\\" before the "ab." (I took them out here
b/c it kept trying to make it a hyperlink). I also changed other words for
confidentiality purposes, but left the same length(145 characters) and
spacing.

I assume the problem is the UNC declaration, or length, or spacing in the
full path, but I can't find anything that says this is not valid. Anyway,
any help would be appreciated.
 
It sounds like an illegal filename but as you said it may be related to
the length of the full path and filename.
How about exporting the snapshot to the workstations local drive and
then copying it to the final destination on the Network share. It would
only take a couple of lines of code.
Post back if you need further help with this issue.

As best as I can tell, it was simply because it was a UNC path. Once
the folder was mapped, it worked without a problem.
