The file on device '\\SERSQL1V\SQLBACK\DATA\' is not a valid Microsoft Format
backup set. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3242) BACKUP
DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000]
(Error 3013). The step failed.
SQLBACK is shared folder on the SERSQL1V and from another sql server2 i have
no problem to save backup file but from this new server i have this error
message and

What account is being used under "service startup account", "system account"?
In both places, it should be a domain account, with enough rights to read
and write in the share folder.
See "Setting up Windows Services Accounts" in BOL for more info.
