Hi Listahs -

I have not been able to get FileMaker Server 8.0v4 to backup automatically to a remote drive mounted via AppleShare.

It IS an MacOS 9.2 volume - but backup works fine using FileMaker Server 5.5 on MacOS 9.2...

I've been trying the string in a Schedule:
filemac:/Remote Macintosh HD Name/Documents/Backup Folder/
-with no luck; I get the "Not a valid path" message.

I've also tried making an alias of the Folder on the remote drive, putting it on the Desktop, and using this string in a Schedule: filemac:/Local Macintosh HD Name/Users/User Account Name/Desktop/Folder Alias Name/
-no luck there, either - same "Not a valid path" message.

Do I need to use an OSX remote volume - will that work? This used to work great in MacOS9.2 for remote/offsite automated backups...and it IS thunderstorm season up here in Minnesota...

G5 1.8 single-core
MacOS 10.4.9 all patches installed
FileMaker Server 8.0v4

Thanks -

Greg
