Hello,
I have windows 2012 R2 server that is used to store backup: \\Athena\Backup\Kodi
I had a windows 7 pc whose AOMEI's backups are stored on the above shared drive.
This has been working fine for the last 5 years.
Yersterday I finally decided to take that free windows 10 upgrade. The upgrade went fine, no error reported.
But now, AOMEI refuses to backup my pc. When I edit the backup, all seems fine but when I press the "OK" button, I get this error:
"The specified path does not exist or is not writable. Please select other writable path."
But this path exists and is writable!
From my windows 10 pc, I can type \\Saturn\Backup\Kodi in windows explorer and it works, I see the older backup, I can create files, delete them.
the user/password have not changed during the Windows7->Windows 10 upgrade
on the server, no change neither.
Since the last succesful backup happens before the windows 10 upgrade, I assume this issue has to do with windows 10.
I deleted windows 10, put back yesterday's Win7 backup (using the AOMEI boot disk)
when I edit the back and click OK, AOMEI didn't complain about the network path, and I the next scheduled backup worked fine.
I upgraded again to windows 10, and it's all the same problem again: AOMEI refuses my network path.
FInally, I decided to delete my existing backup schedule and create a new one, same network share and this time is worked.
This is uterly stupid and frustrating. I wasted 16 hours because of that stupid problem. AOMEI should make that very clear: a tutorial, a warning when I open the software. Something!
