Backup to a network share on another PC on same network runs okay. Backup to same PackardBell device but locally USB connected runs okay. Backup from NeroBackItUp to network-connected-PackardBell-drive runs okay. But same error message when trying to run BE SR backup to network-connected-PackardBell-device. Unfortunately, I have no other network external drive at hand to check if the problem could be related to the hard drive device hardware... Any suggestion or interpretation of the message "E7D1000A: Parent '\\devicename\share' exists but is not a directory." is very welcome. Thanks again for your help. BESR 7: cannot backup to network attached external disk - error E7D1000AI am evaluating BE SR 7, desktop and server edition. All results very positive except when I am trying to backup to a network attached external disk (PackardBell NetStore3500). Network disk configured with IP address to make part of a domain or workgroup. Network disk can be read and written in Windows explorer and by other applications. A drive letter (Z:) is assigned to UNC \\devicename\share When defining the backup destination on this network drive for any backup (Recovery Point or Files Backup), I get message E7D1000A "Parent '//devicename/share' exists but is not a directory" Backing up through network on another computer HDD works OK. Problems occurs with BESR Server edition (7.0.0.20351) on Windows Server 2003 (SP2) in a domain environment or BESR Desktop edition (7.0.0.20351) on Windows XP (SP2) in a workgroup environment. Any idea to solve this ? Thanks in advance for your help.
