WebDAV

[ScottB]

Hello,

I am evaluating VV to backup a WebDAV directory. The UNC is a URL , like https://blah.blah.com/documents. I also have a mapped drive to this location.

I am able to successfully run the job in vv pro, however with vvengine it cannot find the source, whether i use a mapped drive or the URL. I have vvengine installed as a service, and I change the log on tab to be my account which has access to the url / mapped drive.

So two questions really:

1. Does VVEngine support webdav or anything i can do as a workaround?

2. If not, how do i run the job automatically without vvengine?

Thank you.

Hi, which Windows OS are you running VVEngine on? Which software is providing the mapping between the webdav URL and the mapped drive? thank you

I have it working with the mapped drive in vvpro, using a scheduled task to run a batch file with the /hiddenautoexec switch. the users has to be logged in, that's a little bit of a bummer, but not horrible. so forget question 2.

does vv engine (or vvpro) for that matter support a webdav URL as the source? I can't get it to work, using the URL. I am trying to connect to a sharepoint server if that makes any difference.

sorry i saw your question after my second post.

i am on a Windows 8, 64 bit computer. the software providing the drive mapping is just Windows Explorer, whatever Windows uses to map the drive. i.e., right-click my computer - map network drive

Hi , VVEngine and ViceVersa do not support WebDav URLs, they need to go via mapped drives. VVEngine and VVScheduler should both work similarly. thanks
