    Is the drive still there? (is it accessible through windows)

    Is it a clustered SQL Server instance?

    Is the drive there and is it accessible through Windows?

    Does the SQL service account have sufficient permissions to write backups to that drive?

    Then speak to whoever is in charge of the server and storage and ask what happened to the drive.
