LEM only backs up to the Administrative share

Question

All,

After upgrading to LEM v6.3.1 I had to do a work around to schedule weekly backs. I interested in know if anyone else had the following issue.

When attempting backups to a shared folder name longer that \A.B.C.D\c$, I receive an error of “An error occurred attempting to copy a file to \A.B.C.D\c$. Please reenter the network share credentials.”

Has anyone else experienced this?  Right now, I can only backup LEM to the c:\ drive.  This is not a great option since I manually move the backup to a different folder.

Previously I was able to successfully schedule and backup LEM to a UNC past the shared name and drive (e.g. \W.X.Y.Z\c$\backups\LEM).

Curtis,

Thank you!

Sharing the LEM folder (\W.X.Y.Z\LEM) allows me to schedule backups.

Thanks,

Right, but if you share LEM directly so that LEM is a share at the top level of the server?  So the share path is \server\LEM\ that should work.

Curtis,

Thanks for the reply.

Trying to backup to \A.B.C.D\c$\LEM still generates the error “An error occurred attempting to copy a file to \A.B.C.D\c$. Please reenter the network share credentials.”

LEM successfully backsup when I enter the the \Share\Administrative share (e.g. \W.X.Y.Z\c$ )
