Apart from all the possible other prerequisites, you have to remember
that the paths have to be accessible from the context of the user from
which the bareos-fd is running. So if you - for example - mount the NAS
share as a g: drive from your normal user, it won't be visible to the
bareos-fd process since it's running from another user session. If you
want to call UNC-paths you might have to do some windows-voodoo with
credentials.

Hi,
I need to backup network shares on a Windows guest, and the shares are
coming from a branded NAS. No capability to install Bareos client on
this NAS.
So, I discovered on this forum an old post, telling that UNC, in long
path format (\\?\UNC\server\share) works for Bareos.
My tests didn't work. But I discovered that at least one prerequisite
is required : a regedit key
(|HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem LongPathsEnabled)
to declare.|

|So, my questions are :|
|- are there other prerequisites ?|
|- is the Bareos windows client compatible with such call ? (or above
a specific version ?)|
|- how do I have to write the files instruction in the Fileset (native
\\?\UNC\..., \\\\?\\UNC\\, //?/UNC/, ...)

|Any help will be greatly greatly appreciated... I am going to be
completely mad with, for me, a simple+old problem...|
