PS: actually a thought just struck me. What is the UNC path that 'S' is mapped to?Is it by any chance\\NAMEOFNAS\Mediashare? If so, what does the \Media\ share represent? (Bear in mind it could be a...

Re: user name and password required to schedule

Hi DaveThanks for the prompt reply. I am sorry for not stating it in my first post, but I am using Windows 7. All SB help seems to refer to Vista or XP. Are there updates to include reference to Win 7...

Re: user name and password required to schedule

Basically, for 'Vista', read 'Vista and later'. There was a new-style Task Scheduler inaugurated in Vista, which hasn't changed since (so 2008, 7 and 8 all still use it). The references relating to...

Re: user name and password required to schedule

Hi DaveProblem solved. I simply went to the Control Panel, User Accounts and Family Safety, created a password. I normally leave my computer on 24/7 so only rarely will I need it to access Windows. I...

Re: Backup FAILURE everytime

If there are errors, there will be error messages, too. If you don't quote them, no-one can help you (because we don't know what they are). If files were copied successfully too, they should also be...

Re: Access Denied on Source when it shouldn't be

One very important fact to note is that 'from Source' only indicates the direction of the attempted operation (as opposed to 'from Right/Destination'). It doesn't necessarily mean the access is being...

Re: Can't sync with Windows XP without admin privileges.

Which credentials did you try entering on the Network page? They should be credentials of an admin account on the XP machine you're trying to access (possibly with a machine-ID prefix, as per the notes...

Question about SB log files during backup

First of all, this past week I just installed the new SBFree V6 after running V3 for years, and wow - impressive changes! So I've been running tests to get everything tweaked to my needs, and came...

Re: Question about SB log files during backup

Upgrade (to SE or Pro). They have options to log such 'missing' files as Warnings (<> Failure) i/s/o Errors (= Failure). The free version does not.I guess the issue is that the program itself is...
