Hi,

Please make sure there was at lease one user logged on when the backup started. Otherwise, please note mapped drives are not available if you are not logged on.

Stilll have this problem fairly regularly.. windows server 2011 AND source drives are ON the server where Backup4all is installed.. When i run it logged into a remote desktop session it runs fine, but when it runs unattended it seems like it can't get the source drives..

Is there a better way to run it than I am?

Hi,

Please try to use UNC paths for the source drives. Do you have the same problem?
