Trying to Save System Image on Network Folder ???
Using AOMEI BackUpper, I am trying to save a System Image on the O/S of one machine to a folder that is on another machine.
All permissions and network access are in order. When I navigate the path to the desired folder and click "Open", I get a notice "The specified path does not exist or is not writable; please select a writable path" I know for fact that the path does exist. I have complete full control of the target folder from the source machine. I am fairly certain that I did this a couple years ago, saving to a different drive/folder on the same machine that I am trying to save to now. Does anyone have any ideas ? How can I make this work ? Surely AOMEI has the capability to store images on a different network machine ? Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated. |

Have you mapped a drive to the location?

No; in fact I have never had any experience with mapping drives.
...To add some information to what is going on: When I am in AOMEI's "browse to a location" dialogue, and I go through the motions of selecting my target, AOMEI displays my path, step by step, in the path bar, and then refuses to accept it as a legitimate path/target. |

Map a drive to it then it should work as long as everyone has full rights on the ntfs on the folder

Once I map to the target folder, will I still be able to also access it by the original path or will that path now be broken ? |

I "mapped a network drive" to the folder.
Now, I cannot for the life of me seem to type the path in correctly. I cannot navigate to the network folder in the normal browse dialogue. There is, however, a "Share/NAS" dialogue that AOMEI says to use for network folders. I have tried every scenario I could think of and it refuses my efforts. I Google-searched for answers as to how the path should be typed and came to a dead end. |

Did you try typing in the UNC path ?
Pathcopycopy is neat little program that adds to context menu for copying all sorts of paths: Path Copy Copy |
