==How to back up a Mapped Network Drive with BUS==

The BUS software can back up a mapped network drive on Windows (Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista). To make it work, you need to give BUS the credentials needed to map the drive at the time when backups are scheduled. This is required because scheduled backups will always run under the context of Window's "Local System" account (which does not have the privileges required to access network resources) by default.

There are two ways to do this, depending on whether you have a Windows Domain Controller which handles authentication for mapping the drive you need.

==WITH A Windows Domain Controller==
* In the BUS software, select the backup set from the drop down list at the top of the left panel.
* Enter your Windows domain, username and password into the right panel and press [OK].
* Press the [OK] button to save.

==WITHOUT A Domain Controller==
You need to have the backup software run the "net use" command to map the network drive before each backup. For example, if you want to backup \\SERVER\SHARE that is located on another computer in a Windows workgroup, add the following as a [Pre-backup command]:
net use \\SERVER\SHARE [PASSWORD] /USER:[DOMAIN | MACHINE_NAME]\[USERNAME]
Replace [PASSWORD] and [USERNAME] with the password and username required to map this drive. Here is an example from a working system:
net use \\Server1\userfiles blue7225 /USER:ralph
To enter this:
* In the BUS software, select the backup set from the drop down list at the top of the left panel.
* Click [Command Line Tool] on the left panel.
* Under Pre-Backup, enter your "net use" command in the [Command] field. Leave the [Working Directory] field empty.
* Click [Add], then [OK]
