[FX.php List] Not a valid path - for scheduled backups

[Steve Winter]

Hi Troy,

This probably isn't a lot of help to you, but I can confirm that under
Windows it is possible to backup to an external drive. 

I have two external drives which I swap offsite week about... both of them
are identical, and known to Windows as drive H: so the path in FMS is
filewin:/H:/backup/databases/ The backup runs daily, I swap the drives
weekly, because they are ho swappable, and FMS does its backups in the
middle of the night, it never cares that they're not there for a brief
period...

As I said, doesn't help you solve your problem, but does confirm that it is
possible within the FMS regime to use an external drive...

Best of luck
Steve

Dale,

Thank you. I just ran it... it reported an number of fixes that it
performed. Fortunately it's as you said, FMS and Apache etc. is still
working fine (after a brief test) but unfortunately the external volume
backup paths are still not valid.

At least I get to cross that one off!
