Hi
Not a lot or recent activity in this forum. Is the product now dead? The 'update check' failed anyway.
Still I have a different, more serious problem. Profiles that were working earlier this week have now stopped as Syncback on the PC can no longer see the source
\\192.168.0.100\files\music\flac\blues\
If I put that address into file explorer the folder opens up. It's just so odd that it suddenly stopped. Well actually it wasn't that sudden, I started to get errors. I've tried both wired and wireless connections.

Re: Sudden failure to access network resources
Hi, no, it's not dead. A new version was released 31st October:
https://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/changes.html
If the update check is failing I can only assume you are using V7 or older? Support for V7 ended over a year ago (1st December 2017). if you're using V8, what error do you see when doing an update check?
An important point to remember is that SyncBackSE runs elevated, which affects how it sees network drives:

Have you configured the Network settings for the profile? Maybe it needs a username and password?

Re: Sudden failure to access network resources
Why would it suddenly stop though? There were no Windows updates AFAIK. I've tried mapped drives and UNC and both work in explorer. There are no permissions required to access it - at least there weren't three days ago and I've not added any.

Re: Sudden failure to access network resources
Hi, if you've not updated SyncBack, then something else has changed. Changed the password or username for the network share? Running SyncBack as a different user? Running in a schedule when you weren't before?
