Error<\/h2>\n

Warning: Backup source “X:\\XXXX” does not exist ! appears in the backup report logs and causes the backup status to change to “warning”.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Cause<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. One of the backup source locations does not exist on the computer where the backup is running.<\/li>\n
  2. Another common cause is a mapped network drive being selected.
    \nMapped network drives only exist within the currently logged on session. Scheduled backups run in a different session, so any mapped network drives will not be present under a scheduled backup.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Resolution<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Delete the entry from the backup source selection (if the source is invalid).<\/li>\n
    2. Change the mapped network drive source entry to use the UNC path instead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      There are two ways of modifying the backup set source selections: either via the backup agent (standard\/advanced) or via the web console (advanced edition only).<\/p>\n

      Via the backup agent<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Open the CyberSecure agent<\/li>\n
      2. Go into the backup source selection (via settings for the advanced edition)<\/li>\n
      3. Go into the “Advanced” backup source selection<\/li>\n
      4. Locate the missing folder by selecting the backup selection checkbox on the left-hand side and drilling-down.<\/li>\n
      5. The missing backup source location will be shown in RED on the right-hand side:
        \n\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      6. UNTICK the location and OK back to the main console<\/li>\n
      7. Save settings to the servers
        \n        \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Via the web console:<\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. Ensure all agents backup console interfaces are closed before proceeding<\/li>\n
        2. Login to the web console<\/a> with your backup login name and password<\/li>\n
        3. Choose “Backup Set” from the top-menu:
          \n          \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
        4. Using the drop-down box, select the backup set that is showing the issue.<\/li>\n
        5. Under “Backup source”, remove or correct any incorrect paths:
          \n          \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
        6. This will immediately update the server’s configuration – the backup agents will periodically pull down the server configuration, so no further action is required on the backup agent<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
