Backup destination Disk Backup Exec 2010R2/2012
Hi,
I use the EMC Atmos GeoDrive Client to map a disk who shows me the files in the cloud. GeoDrive use a cachefolder on a local partition to cache the backupfiles before they are uploaded to the cloud. (I backup my files direct to the new disk from GeoDrive F: or G:)
With Backup Exec 2010 R2 this works fine. About Device Configuration I add a Backup-To-Disk Folder and see all my drive letters.
With Backup Exec 2012 SP2 I add a Disk-based storage. By the choice where I will create the disk storage device I just can see my local partitions.
How can I backup to my "virtual" drive F: or G:?
View with Explorer:
With Backup Exec 2010 R2:
With Backup Exec 2012 SP2:
All samples are on the same Server 2008R2. I just changed the Backup Exec version.
Any help will be appreciated

in 2012 we enforce types of disk storage because prior to 2012 customers were mis-using the available types (i.e. using Removable B2D settings when they should be using standard B2D settings etc) This enforcement will amost certainly be looking more thoroughly at how each disk is connected to the server and will then only show those disks that are appropriate to the type of storage device being created.
This enforcement will only have been tested against the official types of device that we support which might explain why your virtual connections to these GeoDrives are not visible as I doubt we officially support such a thing and whilst we probably have not deliberately blocked it, we would not have known they were in use to make sure they would continue to be useable either.
