UNC storage - the path appears to be an invalid path

I would like to duplicate some backups to a UNC storage. Backup exec 15 gives an error;

the path appears to be an invalid path. Logged in as domain administrator at the Backup exec server. Has all rights at the share. Can access it from the Backup Acces server.

Even given the share everybody all rights.

Tried both dns and ip adres. No difference. Other shares within the network the same error.

Any help appreciated,

Kind regards, Michael

  • It's a share at a regular computer (computer is a domainmember)
    Logged in as domain administrator at the backup exec server and at the local BE interface also connected as domain administrator. From the backup exec server the share is available.

        I seriously doubt that he is still around. Please start a new discussion if none of the advice in this thread has helped you.

  • Try this KB as well - https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH202977.html

  • Where is the share located? If it is on a NAS then you need to make the BE credential a local admin with full read/write access to the entire volume
