| Backing up a mapped network drive |
|
If you wish to backup a mapped network drive on Windows (NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista), you must enter your Window’s domain, username and password into the [Network Resources Authentication for Windows] section as shown below. It is required because scheduled backups run under the context of Window’s “Local System” account (which by default does not have the privileges required to access network resources). Mozzie needs Windows username, password and domain name to authenticate itself to the windows domain controller to acquire the access privileges to access network mapped files. If you don’t supply a username and password, Mozzie will have problems accessing network resources in its scheduled backup Jobs. To backup network mapped drives, please do this 1. Select the backup set from the drop down list at the top of the left panel 2. Enter your Windows domain, username and password into the right panel and press [OK] 3. Press the [OK] button to save. The steps above apply only to computers running in a Windows domain. If you don’t have a windows domain with your network and you are using a workgroup or using a NetWare server, please use the “net use” command to authenticate the running backup process against the computer hosting the mapped drive. Otherwise, you will get “Access Denied” error from the backup report. For example, if you want to backup \\SERVER\SHARE that is located on a NetWare server (or another computer in a windows workgroup) and you are getting "Network drive is not accessible" error message, please try adding the following command as a [Pre-backup command]
Enter one of the following commands directly into the Pre-Backup Command: net use \\Netware\Data password /USER:peter This will authenticate the current process with the NetWare server (or another computer in a windows workgroup) and backup will then run correctly.
