Feedback from a new user - mainly Windows use

[BatterPudding]

I am hitting a wall here on the LAN backup. I’m stuck in an all Windows environment. Need to run Duplicati “As a service” so it will backup locked files (mailstores). But this means no LAN access.

I tried doing the “map a network drive” method, but that destination can’t be seen by the Duplicati service either.

I was thinking of installing NFS on the destination machine - but am then at a bit of a loss as to how to address that from the Duplicati client.

I seem to have run out of options for “simple LAN backup”. Will try a few more options today and add findings to this thread. Been too long since I messed around with user accounts and rights on Windows.

Choosing different drive letter

I’m running 2.0.3.3 on windows 10 as a service using the GUI. I’m trying to backup to a local drive that is not C. It is G. But the GUI only shows C. So when I type in the path manually and test I am told the path doesn’t exist and do I want to create it. I cut and paste the path right from File Explorer. I already did this once when duplicati was running as an app and everything worked fine. But now running as a service I can’t use any path but C. What gives?
