After Cloudsfer agent has started, a window will appear.
Here you will see the installation properties and you will be able to load all your mapped network drives.
Every time the agent is restarted, it will auto map your drives.
If you change your drive mappings, you will need to reload them in the tray application.
You can access the agent properties and reload mapped drives by Right clicking on the Cloudsfer icon and select Show Properties.
Clicking on Reload mapped drives will update the list of mapped drives.
Drives & Mapped Drives
- To be able to access mapped drives the user must be part of the domain, access to mapped drives will be in accordance with the user’s permissions.
- The Agent will see only the drives mapped by the user used to run the service.
Only drives mapped using the UI or CMD in user mode will be visible to the agent. Drives mapped using CMD in administrator mode will not be visible. - If a mapped drive is not on a domain connected computer, then the username and password used to access this resource must be saved in the computer's password vault.
- For a migration/backup to work properly, mapped drives must use the same drive letters all the time.
- After any change in the mapped drives (add, remove) the user must use the “Reload Mapped Drives” option. A backup/scheduled migration plan must be updated accordingly.
