I seem to have run into an issue with Reflect and Webdrive. I previously had this working on my old PC, but after a new installation I don't know what I did to make it work.

This is running on Windows 7 64 bit.

Problem 1: Reflect doesn't see the drive letter when choosing the backup location. This appears to be because the service runs as Administrator, and will not see an NT resource bound to a specific user. I found a workaround for this to be mounting the drive as administrator. You can then browse the drive when choosing the backup location, however there is another problem with this.

Problem 2: When choosing a drive letter mounted as admin, then clicking 'next' to continue configuration of the backup task, Reflect gives the error "The system cannot find the file specified."

I have manually edited the XML file to specify the backup location with the drive letter, however when the backup is run I receive the following error:

Backup aborted! - Open file failed - \\Webdrive-r\cc\archive\backup\ccdesk\docs\3DC66AC71F0B11B9-00-00.mrbak - Error - The system cannot find the file specified.

The path is clearly valid, and I have even had this working on my other machine.

C:\Windows\system32>net use x: \\webdrive-r\cc
The command completed successfully.


C:\Windows\system32>dir x:\archive\backup\ccdesk\docs
Volume in drive X is cc
Volume Serial Number is 0001-172A

Directory of x:\archive\backup\ccdesk\docs

3 File(s) 5,932,922,267 bytes
2 Dir(s) 107,374,182,400 bytes free

If I try to specify the drive letter mounted from the user, I receive the same error.

If I try to specify the NT resource \\webdrive-r\cc I also receive the same error.

Any ideas?

This is way beyond me, but I cannot help thinking the version of Windows might be relevant.

Nevermind, this appears to be a problem with webdrive 10 not making the correct resource available.
