Even as a service?

@GVD (Gabriel) Thank you ... I do not why it is different from backup11 but indeed Mapping the drive as a pre-event worked! So I now have it set - Run as a Service using a regular account with access to the share. - Uncheck the "Convert to UNC" - Uncheck the "Execute Events in UI context" - a pre-ev...

Look Running as an application - the mapped drive fails.

I have Reflector running as a service, "Execute events in UI context" unchecked and the network drive mapped in a pre-event command line event /c "net use ..." with the correct credentials to have write access on the mapped drive. This works for me. Shouldn't it ? Gabriel Are you sure it is not con...

OK. As a service it will never work, even when running as another user. That's because the drives are not mounted on that context. That's leaves us only to the application mode... it's the only way. I say again - on the same system in Backup11 - works as a service - with the mapped drive. I ask aga...

Do you have some theory why it's not accessing the mapped drive if using as an application and without impersonation? I really don't. And don't see any logical explanation. :shock: Not really - WAGs - needs an escape character or quotes or directory break. I would also expect that if it worked with...

should and does are not the same.. (sorry but there is an actual problem with Mapped drives) Normally - I have it running as services - using a "regular User" that has access to the network share. This is how I have it setup with Backup11 and that works. On the same system I have Reflector which fai...

In the "normal" condition no

I should add this is on a system which had been using backup11.
Backup11 task were imported and being used here.

Also I have tested on another system same behavior UNC works; mapped drive doesn't
if it matter 1 computer is in an AD-Domain, the other is in a workgroup.

Sorry - I have to come back to this.. I cleared that flag. reselected the destination location which select as drive letter and it did not covert to UNC. when I ran a backup I get "err ...couldn't be created: (3) The system cannot find the path specified:..." Switch it back to UNC, only thing change...
