Backing up to Network Drives

[wbeachley]

I tried everything suggested in the previous post. I am running FM Server 5.5 on a Windows XP Pro Machine and I want to back up FMP files to a Novell Server across a Novell Network. Is there anything special I need to do. I've tried to set up an account to log on to the remote machine, but I can't figure out what FM Server is actually doing when it attempts the backup. I get an error every time that the remote volume was not found. I've tried UNC names and mapped drive names and nothing works. I think that the workaround described in the knowledge base works in Windows networks, but not with Novell Networks. Any ideas?

I don't see the post you are referring to but have you tried just using FileMaker server to back up to the local Windows XP drive, then using a Windows batch file to copy the files the Novell server?

This is much better way, because FM server will finish the backup faster.
