Bart PE Backup to mapped network drives

Thread needs solution

hi all

i just brought acronis today for the PE plugin. The only thing is when i try to backup to a mapped network drive it says drive disconnected even though in my computer in pe i can see and browse the drive. if i browse the network group this is okay but i would much prefere to use my mapped drives. any ideas ?

thanx

Hello Jarrod,

Let me assist you.

When you map a drive, it becomes mapped only under your Windows account. The Acronis product runs its tasks using the system account and so it is sometimes impossible to locate your mapped drive. Please try to use a full UNC path (e.g. \\server\share\) instead of a mapped drive.

Please reply to this thread if the issue still persists.

Thank you.

why does symantic ghost see the mapped drive ?
also it would be good if you could browse the image data via pe.
i would much preffer to use Acronis.

I've only found this thread when searching for a solution:
Is there another way to have a network drive availiable in the acronis bart pe version without having to enter the unc path manually each time?
