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](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/choosing-different-drive-letter/4485): > > 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? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/feedback-from-a-new-user-mainly-windows-use/4399)._
