Greg:
I am using version 3.1.0.5 win95 client and have not had any problems
backing up Network drive mappings ( directories and files).
I have successfully performed restores as well without a problem. You may
want to verify your incl/excl statements are not preventing the files in
question from being backed up.
Hope this helps ,

Subject: Backup of Networked drive on Win95

Hello all
I have a client who is trying to backup a server located miles away in a
different building by mapping a few drives to it on his Win95 PC and then
backing up his PC along with the Mapped Drives.  First question is: is this
setup even possible?  We actually set this up months ago and from all
appearances it seemed to be working. However when he went to restore a
file,we noticed that nothing had backed up at all(We had excluded his local
drives).  When we start a backup from his computer Adstar begins to examine
the files on the mapped drives as we watch Yet it chooses not to back them
up. Nothing shows up on Dsmerror.log nor Dsmsched.log they both show
everything running as planned.  Does anyone have any experience with this?
By the way we are running V2,1,0.17 and V2 clients.
Any help with this would be appreciated, as this client is not very happy
right now.
Thanks in Advance
