Backing up mapped drives or network shares while not logged in

Asked by oszur in Miscellaneous Networking, Backup & Restore Software, Removable Backup Media

Tags: backup mapped drive shares network files backing up back up

Does anybody have any recommendations for backing up files on a NAS device while the machine i want to run the backups from is not logged in? I have the particular folder I want to backup configured as a mapped drive, and I can also access them using UNC path. The problem is that when I am not logged in the drives are not mapped. I tried using ntbackup but I can't use UNC pathing with it. I need the folders to backup while I am not logged in, but I can't seem to find a program that I can use UNC path to specify what files to backup. Any recommendations?
