Can't attach to mapped drives \\servername\x$

[S_K_2]

One one of my servers when I map a drive to a backup target and then specify that drive in the "user defined selection" i can browse it and back it up with no problems.

All the other server can't browse the "user defined selection" for the mapped drive.

I get an error "AN ERROR WAS ENCOUNTERED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BROWSE THE CONTENTS OF \\SERVERNAME\X$ A DEVICE SPECIFIC ERROR OCCURRED"

if I understand you correctly, I'm surprised that it has ever worked.

You are not supposed to backup mapped drives (drives on other servers that have been assigned a drive letter on the media server), you are supposed to just specify the server\share connect directly

I can't backup \\server\share as the target is Netapp Filer 3050c and 9.1 doesn't have support for NDMP.

take a look at this, this is where I got the initial idea and it works on one of my servers w/o any issues
