It appears that SYNCLOCALDIR will not allow
the DEST to be a UNC pathname. Is this true
or am I doing something wrong?

Ver 3.2.4

Not true, I bet you are trying to use \\ instead of \\\\. Please check "Scpecial ASCII characters topic" in the on-line help for more info.

I wish you were correct in your assumption. I am using
proper syntax by utilizing the additional characters. Can
you possibly post an examply whereby the DEST would be
a UNC? (Also note that I am referencing a server in a
different domain. i.e.

I have declared all variables, etc...then

concatex (driveletter, subdir, srvnm, BACKUPLOC)
concat ("\\\\beiretain\\cabackup\\", srvnm, DEST)
SyncLocalDir(BACKUPLOC, DEST, True, True, True, True )

Should this work?

The script looks good. Please run it in the debugger to verify that the script constructs proper file names.
Also please check that account running 24x7 has permissions to access these files. If you access files using mapped drive letter check it is not accessed using another user account.

You were correct. The UNC does work. I must have been typing in the paths incorrectly.

Thanks for your help!
