There are mapped directories in this drive . This drive is local to the server where the backup is taking place.<br />
no passwords were changing , maybe I need to change the share permmisions? -(I cant change it as I get a message-&quot;this share is for administration purposes&quot;)

Hello yovaly,<br />
<br />
If you are taking backup to a local drive, then $ sign should not come.<br />
<br />
Please clarify whether you are working between two computers, or taking backup of directories to a different location on the same computer.<br />
<br />
Have you tried to backup after login as Administrator ?<br />
<br />
$ sign signifies default share for administrative purposes, and it can not be changed.<br />
<br />
If you are backing up locally, specify directories/drive as D:\backup, or E:, and not as \D$.

Hello yovaly,

If you are taking backup to a local drive, then $ sign should not come.

Please clarify whether you are working between two computers, or taking backup of directories to a different location on the same computer.

Have you tried to backup after login as Administrator ?

$ sign signifies default share for administrative purposes, and it can not be changed.

If you are backing up locally, specify directories/drive as D:\backup, or E:, and not as \D$.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
