Any ideas on how to fix this?
Using Samba to connect.

This happens with all network disks from my understanding and testing.
Is there a fix?
I think it's VSS related.

On Windows, Cyphertite runs under the Network Service account, so it cannot see any drives you've mapped. Map drives on startup via Group Policy so they are shared. UNC paths won't work.

How would I do that on Windows 7 Ultimate?

Create a batch file to map the drive (e.g. net use z: \ip\share)

Run "Edit Group Policy" (or similar, I'm on Windows 10) from Control Panel. Navigate to "Local Computer Policy | Windows Settings | Scripts", and double click "Startup". From there you can add the batch file you created. Reboot, and all going well, you should see the drive you mapped in Explorer.

I'm actually having a similar issue, but with actual physical drives. Cyphertite backs up an assigned folder on c: drive perfectly. When I schedule it to backup my two other drives (complete drive backup under one schedule), It schedules D: and E: Drives during setup. When it runs, I get the "Bad File Descriptor" a couple of seconds in. I go to edit, it shows D:. D:. (yes, there is a dot after the ) instead of D:\ E:\

I select my D: drive only, same error. It schedule for E: drive only, and it works (it's a raided drive while D: is a physical with 1 partition). So somethings blocking D: and I have no clue.

Running windows 8.1.
