Error 1202
Error 1202
I'm using AISBackup on a smal network and have been dong so for something over a year. I backup four computers to separate partitions on an external hard drive connected to my computer. I back up once a month but three times a year I start new. Today, on one of these computers, when I used the command "Remove Backup Job from List" I did not get the usual "The actual backup is not deleted at this time", it just went ahead and deleted the job and did not present the option to delete the actual backup. I did that manually but when I then attempted to create a new backup and needed to map the location of the backup as I usually do, it asked me for a username and password which I ignored and then it brought up the Error 1202: "The local device name has a connection to another network device resource." I've never seen that one before. Any idea what's going on? Thank you.

The network mapping problem
Error 1202: "The local device name has a connection to another network device resource." is an error from Windows.
It may be best to disconnect the mapped drive, check the mappings manually (Using Windows Explorer) and re-map using Windows prior to re-connecting using AISBackup. Although a Username and Password is requested to map drives the PC can only connect using the same Username and Password for everything on the same PC. If there are active connections using a different username errors like this may occur.
To get things working it is probably best to take AISBackup out of the equation until the mappings (and proper read / write access) are working and then re-map with AISBackup. The error message sounds like the mapping is already in-use for something else. If you would like to start afresh with all mappings the command line net use * /delete will remove all mappings without you needing to know what is connected.
The delete problem:
AISBackup does not ask to delete the remote backup if it cannt 'see' it, I guess the drive could not be mapped for some reason.

Code: Select all
K:\Documents and Settings\Barry>net use * /delete
You have these remote connections:
Y: \\192.168.1.101\datafiles
Z: \\server2\arjen
Continuing will cancel the connections.
Do you want to continue this operation? (Y/N) [N]: y

Okay, thanks. I will look into those suggestions but probably will have our outside computer guy do the investigation. It's getting slightly out of my comfort area.
