that i specified in the SQL job and then trying to perform a backup. Am i doing something wrong here?

If a mapped drive to a network share, you may want to change the path to a local directory and then move or copy the backup file to the network location using the UNC instead of the mapped drive. You could also directly backup the database to the UNC, but I don't recommend that as any netowrk hiccup or glitch could cause the backup to fail as well.
