Re: [Networker] How to do a backup of a Windows share

Here¹s the scenario.

I have a Linksys Storage Router, I need to back it up. I mount the disks as
a share to a Windows box. It gets mounted when I log in. So, how do I set
everything up so that NetWorker can back it up automatically? NetWorker runs
as local system.

Any ideas anyone?

Yes I've come across this before. As you have obviously worked out, youcan't backup a mapped drive, because it is only mapped for a logged in user.


The key is to define the save set as a UNC path, e.g. \\linksys\sellis
