Just installed UR backup on a windows 2008R2 server, and set it to backup C: D: and E:. The URBackup server shows it’s status as Image Backup OK, but File Backup shows “No paths to backup configured”. I checked the logs on the ‘client’ and found it is getting an error that it 'can’t access path to be backed up and points to a ‘shadow copy’ folder.
Windows backup itself works fine, but since it references shadow copy I expect this may be pointing to a windows issue, but figured I’d check here for any ideas?
Here’s the log entry:
