I have not been able to get FileMaker Server 8.0v4 to backup

It IS an MacOS 9.2 volume - but backup works fine using FileMaker

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...
Don't do this. Instead configure FMS to backup to a local drive, then
schedule your backup software to copy the FMS-made backups to your
remote volume.
