Are you using the K backup to do this? Keep in mind that from within Windows you do not get mapped drives unless you are logged in. Had this kind of problem a while back when we used one server to host our external backup HDD and the main file server to perform the actual backup. Aside from a few other problems such as performance, if the fileserver was not logged into a user with that drive mapped when the backup was to be performed then it would fail because it could not find the file path.

Hope that helps.

Yep...that helps. Though its not practical to leave a user logged in.

Guess another feature request to be able to back up UNC paths!

UNC backup paths work great in Kaseya/Acronis, always have.

Nope! when i try it says illegal path. Must be local drive.

So that would be a no for UNC paths.
