Hello,

I must backup a directory that is located on a drive named X.
I have a scheduled task with a batch of the software that is located on drive C:
Problem: When I manually run the batch, the process is done normally. But through the planned task, I have systematically an error. The log shows "that you can not find the following folders: X: \ folder
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
You can not read the attributes of the X file:
Error 3: the specified path could not be found "

This seems difficult to understand. Do you have any idea what may be the problem?

In thanking you,

Drive mappings are user specific.
Make sure the scheduled task is run under the same user credentials as when running the task manually,
or, when running under different user credential, use the network address (e.g. //[ip-address]/[share-name])
in your left-right folder pair definitions and define user credentials that have write-access in said location.
