mgm75 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I want to schedule my FM server 8 to backup to another computer over the network. Everytime I put in the network path it won't validate. I have tried making a mapped drive and thatr didn't work. Any suggetions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted S Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Yo, This topic has come up at least a few times in the past year. I'm not 100% sure of the answer but I think the consensus is that you cannot backup to a network path. I think the workaround is to backup to a local drive and then schedule those copies to be moved to the network drive via the OS (i.e. copy *.*). Do a search and I'm pretty certain that you will find the definitive answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 No, you actually can backup to a network volume, it's just not very smart. If the remote volume is not available you won't have a backup. When you backup to the local hard disk and then move a zipped copy across the network you will at the very least always have the local backup. Also, using the local hard disk is a lot faster. Moving a zipped copy across the network is a lot better for performance. Check out the "Backups! More Backups!" white paper on www.connectingdata.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
