ARRRRGH

It changed the location ... it accepted a folder on another PC ... I did a backup of a project ... which the administrator tells me worked ... so I went to the backup folder to physically check and it is empty! NO BACKUP HAS BEEN MADE :0

Back to the control panel, and I see that the backup location is now set to ...
c:\program files\adobe version cue\\\w2k\HomeserverC\Backup\Version Cue\backups

The first part is obviously where VC was installed.
w2k is the name of the second PC, and HomeserverC is the name of the share on that PC.

The question is where are my backups? what do the three \\\ mean in the middle of the path?

Part of the point of backup is to protect against drive failure ... so I need to know where the data is physically.

VC accepted a shared folder without warning ... and then 'used it successfully' without apparent error ... except that the backup data is missing.

I have looked on my C: drive (including hidden and system files) under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue and found nothing that has been modified today except for a few log files

What is even worse is that I cannot now change my backup setting again because there is an error
'Cannot Copy File: Cannot read from the source file or disk.'

This looks like a windows generated message ... as if VC is sending an invalid path to windows ....
