Couldn't attach to drive that doesn't exist...

[Rob_Hulleman]

Hi, I have a very strange problem, I am getting an error message when i automaticly backup up a remote computer. When i backup this system manually i am getting no error messages. The error message says: Unable to attach to \\*******\D:., The strangest thing is that this system has no D: drive only a C: and a E:. Thanx in advance Rob...

Hello,

It seems the error occur on a scheduled job only. Ensure that you are using an account with admin rights to backup the remote server.

Recreate the job and then test the results. Revert if the issue persists.

Thanx for the Reply, I've tried that already.

The workstation i try to back-up is part of a Windows 2003 domain so are 3 others which i can successfully back-up, It's a brand new HP computer with Xp sp2.

Yes,

of course i checked all the technotes,

The problem is that he wants to backup a drive that doesn't exist and i certainly didn't select it in my back-up job.... I have only selected the C: drive...

Edit the selection list and choose "Text Mode" Verify that the offending drive does not exist, if it does, remove it and save the list

That should do it.

Thanx...

I think that did the trick, there was indeed in text mode a link to the non existing drive, i removed it and will check it first thing in the morning...
