scarlson Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Good day Everyone -- I'm attempting to use the Disk Image backup mechanism from the IDE. I am able to mount the Windows shared folder via running this from the shell: mount -t cifs -o username=username,password='password' //192.168.127.2/PPMAC_Shared_Folder /media/shared The password does have some special symbols, so I wrapped it with single quotes. I am able to access /media/shared no problem. However, if I attempt to use IDE in the Backup (Disk Image) menu, I receive an error unable to mount (Using the same credentials as command line) --------------------------- Error --------------------------- Unable to mount host computer's shared drive: \\192.168.127.2/PPMAC_Shared_Folder on /media/shared. Backup process aborted I Do notice the double backslash vs double frontslash is one of the possible issues. When I click the proceed button, does the above CLI command get executed? If I do not use the single quotes around my password, i get an error from CLI. I suspect this has something to do with it. Are you wrapping the user's password when building the command for linux cli? Thanks in Advance, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
