[Box Backup] BoxWin using Mapped Network drives

[Nick Knight]

I will look into this - I did try it myself and it never worked, mainly
because of the mapped drive bit - but there is no reason why it should
have access to the files required.

Ben stated that on Unix you shouldn't backup mount points - which I
guess includes this type of thing - the file maybe available but I am
not sure what the ability to perform stats on network files are.

I am not promising anything but I will try to find some time to test
this out.

Hi

Is there an issue with boxwin (v0.09f) not backing up "mapped" network=20
drives ? (I'm not sure if this is a bug or expected behaviour.)
I've been trying to get a Samba mounted network folder backed up but=20
nothing seems to happen.

I have=20

	data
	{
		Path =3D H:\Data
	}

in my bbackupd.conf file but this folder does not seem to get backed up.


I suspect this is a problem with the Windows API rather than boxbackup=20
but I'd like some confirmation on this if possible.

I can probably achieve the result by backing up the folder on the Samba=20
server but as this is user specific data, it would make more sense to=20
back it up based upon the user's view of their files.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks
