Hi Guys,

I have a server using Filemaker Server 7 and want to make a backup in another machine but when i try to do that it calls an error like "invalid Path" or something like that..

Can anyone help me with that??

thanx a Lot

Usually due to a permissions problems. In Finder, click on the folder you are trying to back up to, choose get info, look at permissions detail and make sure fmserver can read and write.

If you are going to backup to a mapped network drive, make sure that the FileMaker Server 7 service is using Log On to logon as a domain user on the network. If you check the properties of the service, it runs by default as a local account. This will not allow you to write to a remote volume.

Once you change the logon, restart the service. Then when you create the backup schedule, the path you want will be something like "filewin://server_name/directory/"

That should work for you.
