Cannot see mapped network drives when backing up, importing or restoring
The side-effect of this is that any Administrator-enabled programs may only see network mapped drives from the Administrator's point of view. If, when your PC was set up, the mapped drives were created from a standard user account and not the administrator account, these may not be available in drive/file selection lists - although the actual network location should still be usable by browsing the network.
There are a couple of ways to solve this problem, assuming your IT engineer has allowed your Windows account and/or PC to access the network location:
Either:
- Browse for the network location by clicking on Network in the file requester list, then clicking on the PC you wish to connect to, then finally clicking on the shared folder.
- Map to the drive location from within the file requester dialog itself. You should be able to do this by right-clicking on "Computer" in the dialog, then selecting "Map network drive". Doing this will create the mapped drive with the permissions that your Windows user account already has.
