5.3 Mapped Network Drive

If you need to backup a mapped network drive on Windows (it will only work in Windows NT/2000/XP/2003), you
must enter your Window’s domain, username and password 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 have the privileges required to access network resources) by
default. Better Edge Backup needs 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 supply 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 drive in scheduled backup, please do this:

i.

Select the backup set from the left panel and press the [Properties] button

ii.

Enter your Windows domain, username and password into the dialog shown below and press [OK]
