[Box Backup] Failed to setup location

Thanks, I really don't know what to make of this:

> Failed to stat location: J:\04CommonFiles: No such file or directory

Was there an error message prior to that one in the Event Log (I guess 
probably not, but just want to make sure).

Are all your other locations working fine?

Do you have any other locations on that drive? Could you try creating 
something like J:\05Test, configure it as a location and see what it does?

I'm afraid I can't reproduce this at the moment. Backing up mapped drives 
works fine for me. What version of Windows are the server (that shares 
that volume) and the client running?

I'd like to find out whether it's the drive (J) or the directory name 
(04CommonFiles) or the directory settings/contents that's causing the 
problem. Could you try some variants for me please?

Cheers, Chris.
