Authentication is asked for Mapped Drive Acronis True 2020

Thread needs solution

I've mapped a drive from my laptop server to my working laptop. I can connect, read, write files to the server but when I point Acronis to the shared folder, it is asking me for authentication. Why is it asking if I can R/W to the mapped drive?

Jeff, welcome to these public User Forums.

You are seeing normal behaviour for Acronis.  Mapped drives are seen as normal network connections and therefore will expect to be given the appropriate credentials to allow access to the System account used for the connection.  If you look at the destination, it should show as a UNC type address, i.e. \\192.168.0.66\MySharedFolder
