Spiceworks backup fails to locate or create UNC Path.

Spiceworks backup fails to locate or create UNC Path.

When I specify the unc path to a networked machine (workgroup) it states, “w07/test/” doesn’t exist, create it? Yes No. Once I click Yes, it states Error: Couldn’t write to specified directory. Both images are attached.

I can ping the other machine successfully. I can access the share (\\w07\test\) successfully. I can create and edit files in the share and have obviously granted proper permissions.
Both machines Win7 Pro.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Wow. MS Synctoy runs beautifully! There is not a scheduling or automation feature though. How can I achieve this so that it runs every day at 5:30pm for example? I tried setting up a scheduled task but I do not know what argument to add so that it not only executes the app but also executes the sync.

I must have skimmed over your last sentence...could you walk me through the cmd lines in the batch to execute the run feature? I know how to set it up to run the app but not the sync feature. Thanks!

Nevermind, i figured out how to do it just using Task scheduler. I specified SyncToyCmd.exe -R (which runs all the folder pairs)!
Thanks again.
