Hi all,

Now i would like to backup this share but i can't find a way to do that.

Can anybody help me with this?

Thank you very much

    Hi,

     

    No way to backup mapped drives at all. These are associated with a logon session and BE will not see them.

    The only way to do so is to try backing up the share on the device itself via \\IP_Address\Share_Name. The BE service account needs rights to this too.

    Thanks!

    This KB can be used configuring share-level backups - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH23840

    Also, enable selection of user shares under tools - options - network & security.

    Does the TimeCapsule support SMB/CIFS or only AFP ? If only AFP, I doubt BE will be able to detect it.

    You may have to add a User defined selection of that share to Backup Exec to backit up.

    thanks guys.

     

    But how i can access the share within BE? I can't add the share in user define selection. I mean i can't add the  \\IP_Address\Share_Name but BE can't connect/find it.

    Any Idea?

    Thanks

    ...you say that BE can't find it...can you browse to the share from the media server itself?

    Thanks!
