Cobian Backup 11 (Gravity) • Network backup/logon

Hi,

So I've been using Cobian Backup 11 for a long time now, really a great piece of software.

I have an issue with network backup. I have a local network with several computers, one of them acting as a file server. So, I need to back up a particular folder stored on a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 to a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Admin accounts on both machines, password-protected sharing is on.
From the server, if I first enter the username and password to access the Windows 7 PC, I can browse through the destination folder, permissions and everything are ok. Then if I run the backup, it's successful.
However, if I run it without entering credentials first, I get the path not found error, which is normal - Cobian can't access the destination.

But how to make it work? I can't seem to get it right using impersonation in the Advanced tab, nor have I found anything relevant on the forum. Cobian is running as an application, not as a service.


Many thanks in advance.
