Seems like server cannot find or write to \\192.x.x.x\L\Data\test.bak today.
I played around a little, and that is typically the error message
you get when the directory does not exist, the server name is wacko
or the file is write protected. I would do as Simon says, check if the
SQL Server error log gives any more hints. If all you find there is a
OS error number, say 4711, try this:
NET HELPMSG 4711
