After executing osql from the command line via the Windows scheduled
task interface, the following error is returned: "Timeout expired"

The code in the sql is as follows:

BACKUP Database DBName to DISK='D:\Files\Backups\DBName.bak' WITH INIT
go

Is the timeout happening during the backup or in just connecting to the
server? There is no firewall between the two machines they are on the
same hub, and the machine executing osql has SQL 2000 installed while
the database machine has SQL 2005.

Any ideas?
