Hello,I have been using Syncback for a few months with no problems. I recently made the switch to using 2 accounts in Win XP. An admin and a limited user. I have a mapped network drive to ":Y" that I wanted to back up to. I set up Syncback in the admin account set it to run as the admin account and unchecked "Run only if logged in." I use my limted account for daily computing (and wish Syncback will run in the background as the admin be) but now SB does not run properly. I checked the log and get:"Critical Error: Failed to prepare destination: The drive Y: does not exist!"I am not sure why. I can manually run it fine (when I am logged in as the admin). I think it may be that under the limited account there is some problem running the software or perhaps the mapped drive needs to be swirched to a UNC path or perhaps some folder/file permission problem. I am not sure where to go from here. Any help would be great. Thank you.
HiMapped network drives are a per-user setting. I assume Y: was mapped to [where-ever] as the admin user but isn't (yet) as the limited-user. I am guessing that previously the profile used to run on a schedule but that the admin-user was still logged in - right? But now you have got more security-conscious and created the limited-privilege user to enhance security? And now the PC is either logged-in as limited-user when the schedule runs or no-one is logged in when it runs (?)Supplying the admin credentials to the schedule gives the profile the access privileges of the admin but does not create his drive mappings unless he is also specifically logged-in (and it's the latter that creates them). To get around this you need to alter a UNC path for the mapped control letter ie\\ComputerName\ShareName\FolderName (if \FolderName is relevant)that is whatever you would otherwise map Y: to(Incidentally profiles in SyncBack freeware* are user-specific too. I assume you found that out for yourself and used merchandise as one user / Import as the other to get around this? You might want to log back in as admin and dress thet Y: mapping to UNC in the admin's version of the compose too...)You are correct to assume there may be privilege issues later but you haven't reached that stage yet. You need to solve the drive mapping (not) issue firstRgdsDW
Well it's hard to give precise instructions without knowing your exact setup and I also don't know the operating system of your PC(s) but let's give it a tryIf you previously.
