5.3 Mapped Network Drive
If you need to backup a mapped network drive o n Windows (it will only work in Windows NT/2000/XP/2003), you
must enter your Window’s domain, username an d pa ssword into the [Network Resources Authentication for
Windows] section as shown below. It is required because scheduled backups will always run under the context of
Window’s “Local System” account (which does not h ave the privileg es required to access network resources) by
default. Better Edge Backup need s to collect your Windows username, password and domain name to authenticate
itself to the windows domain controller to acquire the required access privileges to the network files to be backed
up. If you don’t supp ly a username and password, Better Edge Backup will have problems accessing network
resources in its scheduled backup Jobs.
If you need to backup network mapped d rive in scheduled backup, please do this:
i. Select the backup set from the left p anel and press the [Properties] button
ii. Enter your Windows domain, username and password into the dialog shown below and press [OK]
