Hi,
I use symantec DLO for some of my users. One user has a partitioned Hard disk on his machine, C:\ and D:\.
D:\ is where the user stores his data. Using windows 8.
DLO continuously gives me an error stating that it cannot backup d:\ as it is not a local fixed drive.
"Backup source path: d: - is not for a local fixed drive. "
Does anyone know why DLO has decided that this is not a local fixed drive?
Thanks in advance.
How are the backup selections of your profile configured ?
This usually happens if the backup selection includes files on any other drive apart from C: drive, and some of the client machines do not have any such drive configured.
Create a separate profile for the users which has data to be backed up on any other drive apart from C: drive. So in your case, create a profile for all users who has D: drive in their system and data on D: drive needs to be backed up for them.
Thanks for the reply VJware,
we are having 50 machine, in some machine had only c: drive and some machine having d: and e: drive.
We created a profile with backup selection all including c: , d: and e: drive.
DLO continuously gives me an error stating that it cannot backup d:\ as it is not a local fixed drive.
"Backup source path: d: - is not for a local fixed drive. "

As mentioned earlier, create separate backup profiles with separate backup selections.
So for clients, with only C: drive, create a profile with backup selection only as C:\
For other clients with D: and E:, create another profile with backup selection only as D:\ and E:\
This error occurs usually due to two reasons. One, the drive does not appear as "local" in the device manager and second, due to the backup selections.
