Which can do Schedule Backup for around 50Nodes. It shouldn't make processor slow when it is on the task or backup is running. Looking for s/w which can directly do schedule back to my NAS drive. No data loose. If somebody make changes into file and that<br /> specific file will again taken for data back then I must have two option of back up , one is original file and other is modified file.</p> <p>Can I get all solutions from FBack Up?</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Jay Shah</strong> </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/network-backup-error-cannot-create-destination-directory#post-3519 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 03:39:12 +0000 ahoffman 3519@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Yes, I use an administrator account. As far as I know, I do not have any other problems with permissions.</p> <p>The backup is set to run once a day. After failing every day for about a week with the error message above, today the backup ran successfully. I did not change any settings or configuration. Not sure what changed but it appears to be working now.

I can try to create a completely new backup on a different directory of the server to see if that works, but I was trying to avoid that since I have about 15GB of data to backup and the initial copy takes a long time. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/network-backup-error-cannot-create-destination-directory#post-3494 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 12:17:37 +0000 Admin 3494@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>What is changed since the first time when the backup ran successfully? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/network-backup-error-cannot-create-destination-directory#post-3485 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 05:14:31 +0000 ahoffman 3485@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I recently installed FBackup and was able to successfully setup a mirror type backup to a network-connected external hard drive (a simple NAS, I guess). The initial backup job was successful and I also manually ran the job a few times subsequently without problem. Today a scheduled backup was set to run and failed with the error message below. I now also receive the same message when I try to manually run the backup:</p> <p><strong>Cannot create destination directory: "\\SERVERNAME\FolderName\SubFolderName\".<br /> An unexpected network error occurred.</strong></p> <p>The subfolder name that the error message refers to is the destination directory I chose for the backup. That subfolder already exists from the first time this backup was run. </p> <p>I found a previous post that stated that folder permissions were a potential cause for this message. However, I can access this network path fine through Windows Explorer and I can create or delete files/folders without a problem, so I should have proper permissions for the folder.</p> <p>Any suggestions? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/network-inaccessible-on-xp-machines-after-fbackup-backs-up-to-network-share#post-3050 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 14:39:37 +0000 Admin 3050@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Do you have the same problem if you access the network drive using UNC path or mapped drive path? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/network-inaccessible-on-xp-machines-after-fbackup-backs-up-to-network-share#post-3044 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 07:12:57 +0000 anthony@techheads.net.au 3044@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi Fbackup,</p> <p>I'm an IT professional and frequently install FBackup on my home clients computers. I also have purchased many BackUp4All licenses for my business clients.</p> <p>I have two different clients with the exact same issue and I really would value your help to resolve it.</p> <p>One MS Windows 7 Professional workstation hosts a Network Share for backup purposes.</p> <p>The Backup always runs successfully no problems, although after a backup completes to the network shares, none of the MS Windows XP based machines can access the Network Shares.</p> <p>The other MS Windows 7 workstations have no trouble accessing the network.</p> <p>The XP based machines can only again access the network after the server machine has been reset. Then it's fine.</p> <p>If you could please help me to resolve this as I'm certain I'll run into this further in the future.</p> <p>Other than this, your programs have all been fantastic, very useful.

You cannot change the temp folder location in FBackup, but only in Backup4all, our commercial edition.</p> <p>You can edit the zip file name prefix, but you cannot change this part "1_C", "1_D". </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/question-about-network-backup-and-backupfile-name#post-2872 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:30:12 +0000 telmessos 2872@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I would like to know the procedure of Fbackup for network backups. Does FBackup create the file on the existing disk and transfer or directly create the zip file and add the files in it? If it is the first option I will have difficulties as my server has 60GB of backup files and I don't have enough space on the local drive for a zip file to be created. </p> <p>Another question is the zip file name to be created. Fbackup creates 1_C.zip 2_C.zip etc. I have my own script which renames the backup files and moves it to the related folder. Is it possible to make the backup file always the same?</p> <p>Many thanks<br /> telmessos </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/files-and-folders-from-the-network-not-allowed#post-2586 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 10:31:50 +0000 Admin 2586@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>It seems you do have source files from network.</p> <p>Please open Backup Properties->Sources<br /> Remove the sources from T: drive as it is a mapped network drive.<br /> Press Save and run again the backup. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/files-and-folders-from-the-network-not-allowed#post-2553 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 13:12:24 +0000 Admin 2553@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>No other client reported such a problem before.<br /> Please send us to info[at]fbackup[dot]com :<br /> - the log file from View->Job Logs->Last backup log.<br /> - the .fkc file from View->Open Folder->Catalog Folder.<br /> Put the files into a zip archive. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/files-and-folders-from-the-network-not-allowed#post-2548 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 06:13:36 +0000 Patrick 2548@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>FBackup is a great product and I am just trying it out for a bit before buying Backup4all to let me use my network drive in both directions. I have been backing up my hard drive to a network drive for a couple of weeks now and it has been working great.</p> <p>A couple of days ago however, the backups started aborting with:</p> <p><em>[4/21/2011 10:16:52 PM] Error: Backup aborted. Reason:<br /> Adding files and folders from the network is not allowed.<br /> Backup aborted at 4/21/2011 10:16:53 PM with 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)</em></p> <p>I had not made any changes to my source list but, even so, I rechecked it carefully and there are no network drives listed in the source. I next unchecked all source files except a single one on my hard drive and was still aborted with the same error.</p> <p>Finally I created a new backup job specifying the same source set as before and that seems to be running fine, though I won't know for sure till tomorrow.</p> <p>To have my backup job suddenly start aborting leaves me a bit worried as to reliability.</p> <p>Any suggestions would be appreciated.</p> <p>Patrick </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/files-and-folders-from-the-network-not-allowed#post-1814 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 07:56:29 +0000 Admin 1814@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>That feature is not included in the Lite edition of Backup4all<br /> You need to try Standard or Professional edition.<br /> Please see here a comparison matrix with the features included in each edition: <a href="http://www.backup4all.com/en/compare-products.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.backup4all.com/en/compare-products.html</a> </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/files-and-folders-from-the-network-not-allowed#post-1798 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 21:01:47 +0000 Awethentic 1798@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Dear Admin,</p> <p>I installed your commercial product Backup4all Lite and tried to add a folder from a network and it is still not allowed.</p> <p>Wot to do?</p> <p>Cheers.</p> <p>A </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/why-not-backup-from-network-drives#post-1639 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:07:35 +0000 Admin 1639@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Please contact our sales department for details about how to become a reseller of Backup4all.

Some clients like having their My Documents, My Pictures, etc configured to literally operate from the NAS drive, so they can work on any computer with the same file set.</p> <p>I would absolutely love the ability to allow network locations to be a source location, so that we can use local hard drives as the backup location for the external NAS.</p> <p>Obviously a NAS can not host FBackUp, so it essentially makes FBackUp a program that can not do what it does so well in any other circumstance.</p> <p>I have two clients with open accounts at the minute that would both directly benefit from this ability straight away. One of which I am currently trying to source a good alternative for.</p> <p>Do you think FBackUp will ever allow this feature to be present? Or even just for network mapped drives? The restriction has made your software a frustratingly impossible solution for some customers.</p> <p>I say frustrating because it's such a good program in all other circumstances. Other backup programs can not do what FBackUp does!</p> <p>I'm a massive fan,</p> <p>Anthony Parker </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/why-not-backup-from-network-drives#post-1619 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:28:02 +0000 Admin 1619@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Adding files and folders from network sources is not allowed in FBackup.<br /> If you need that feature, we recommend you our commercial product: <a href="http://www.backup4all.com">Backup4all</a>. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/files-and-folders-from-the-network-not-allowed#post-1617 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:26:28 +0000 Admin 1617@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Adding files and folders from network sources is not allowed in FBackup.<br /> If you need that feature, we recommend you our commercial product: <a href="www.backup4all.com">Backup4all</a>. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/why-not-backup-from-network-drives#post-1615 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 13:39:51 +0000 ChrisA 1615@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,<br /> We have a Freecom Datatank (2TB) configured as a network server - folders being drive-mapped in Windows-XP on my PC. I can manually copy the folders from Freecom to the USB connected hard-drive (Seagate). I can't see why FBackup can't do the same, even if technically it's not performing a folder/files backup? This would make automating the copies a major timesaving process.<br /> How to install FBackup, and then run, on a datatank server... any ideas?</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Chris A. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/files-and-folders-from-the-network-not-allowed#post-1614 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 13:22:14 +0000 ChrisA 1614@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Seem to have successfully downloaded and installed FBackup4 to my Windows-XP desktop.<br /> But I get the topic message when I try to add a folder from our LAN in the New Backup Wizard dialog!

New references documents are placed there periodically by various people. When I am traveling and/or unable to connect to the internet, I would like to have access to a "local" copy of this repository on my laptop. Ideally I would like to use FBackup to maintain a mirror of this shared network folder on my laptop's C drive.</p> <p>Are there future plans with FBackup to enable mirroring/backup where the source is a network drive and the destination is a local (e.g. laptop) drive? Was curious as to the reason that this is currently not allowed?</p> <p>Thanks for your insights!</p> <p>All the Best,</p> <p>Bill</p> <p>P.S. FBackup is a very user friendly backup tool!
