Hi Rob
The problem is, perhaps, because the database path should be the path in
the PC host, where phisically stays the database, and not the net path.
E.g.: C:\data\sample.fdb and not F:\sample.fdb, if F maps C:\data in the
server HD. And this also if the backup software is in a client PC.
Bye
Sergio
