Nonstop Backup does not support the file system

Thanks for quick reply.

TIH?

No. I will give that a try; but possibly not immediately, because as a stop-gap I set Nonstop Backup to use an external USB drive, which will do to be going on with.

I have a mapped network drive setup on a VPN connection. I got the same error setting up the nonstop backup saying the file system was not supported. Was going to just enter the UNC path as you suggested, but TIH 2012 will not allow me to enter a path, I can only browse locations. Any ideas? Does the workstation edition handle this any better?

Hello Brandon, I think i have a solution for you, as I had exactly the same issue as you described.

Try this:
When you select the menu option to create a non-stop backup, the dialog appears. Don't select a drive as a destination from the drop down list, but rather, select "Browse ...". In the browse window, you see the filename of the backup, right?
Okay, try to OVERTYPE the file name, and start the filename with \\\\
Once you've typed your IP-Number, window appearing and your nas will be accessible.

F.E.: \\192.168.0.200\Backups\My Backups

It worked for me, as i am now doing a non stop backup to my NAS :-)
It is a workaround, as this functionality indeed works dodgy. I will raise a flag also to the support team of Acronis.

success!
