Map / unmap drive letters with DD 10

[Rick_G]

Now that I have changed back to Disk Director 9, I can report a minor problem with Disk Director 10.

I Xcopy my data files for daily backup to another computer. I only map the drive letters when I need them:

net use r: \\Thinkpad\1_O_IBM
net use s: \\Thinkpad\1_N_IBM

When I finish the process, I remove the mapped drive letters:

net use r: /delete
net use s: /delete

This works with no problems under DD 9. :)

Under DD 10, it appears that certain files are being held open on mapped drives. When I try to un-map those drives, I get a message similar to this:

"There are files or directory searches open on this drive. Are you sure you want to remove the mapped drive letter? (Y/N)"

This makes me unsure if it is safe to un-map the drive letter. I also have to press "y" and "Enter" for each of the ten mapped drives. This is just a minor annoyance with DD 10 that does not exist under DD 9.

I do not plan on sending anything to Acronis support. I had to resolve my problem ASAP!

I simply uninstalled DD version 10, and went back to version 9.

Hello Rick_G,

Most likely SnapAPI update will solve the problem you reported.

If that does not help then I would recommend you to provide us with the information requested above. By doing this you will ensure that your particular problem is known by Acronis and we'll do our best to analyze and fix it as soon as possible.

Thank you.
