True Image modifies UNC path, causes "Connection Failed"

Thread needs solution

I'm trying to back up to my webdav enabled server via UNC path. When I enter the path in the "Browse for Destination" window and press Enter I get the "Authentication Settings" screen. However, the "Authentication Settings" screen displays the wrong UNC path, and thusly fails to connect after I enter the credentials. I can access the same UNC path with the same credentials via Windows Explorer on the same computer I'm trying to back up.

The UNC path is: \\*myserverurl*@ssl\owncloud\remote.php\webdav
True Image shortens to path to: \\*myserverurl*@ssl\owncloud

I've also tried the same UNC path without the "@ssl", and using the IP address instead of the URL. Works in Windows Explorer, doesn't work in True Image.

Try \\IPaddress without anything else.

Got it figured out; something was wrong with the webdav system. I switched from owncloud to Open Media Vault and now it works as it should.
