C:\ drive? and folders? ...you must be talking windows :)
Can you share the C:\ drive?
Two requirements for backing up to a disk storage unit on a mapped network share are:
1) The mapped network share must be available during the backup. Since only users (not processes) have mapped drives, a user account with the correct drive mapping must be logged on for the entire duration of the backup.
2) Write permissions to the mapped share are required. While the logged-on user may have permissions to the mapped share, NetBackup does not use this security context for access to the mapped share. Instead, NetBackup accesses the network resource with the account that the NetBackup Client Service uses to authenticate itself. By default, this account is the local System account which has no ability to access network resources, including mapped network shares.
If either of these conditions are not met, the backup will fail with an "exit status code 174: media manager system error occurred".
To resolve this problem, perform the following steps:
1) When backups are run using this disk storage unit, ensure that a user account is logged in that has the network share mapped to the correct drive letter (as configured in the disk storage unit's attributes under Absolute Pathname to Directory).
2) Change the NetBackup Client Service's Log On account to an account that has permissions to the mapped drive and path. This can be done in the Windows Services Control Panel.Message was edited by:
