Hi,

It looks like your backup selection has been of the form:

\\servername\sharename

Veritas wasn't really designed to backup shares like this.
You really want to find \\servername\C:\folder
In your selection lists. You will need the Remote Agent installed on the remote server to do so.

You could also simply disable AOFO, from the options menu in your backup job.
