Created a task with same source, but destination folder in the local disk (C:\Users\Matteo\Documents\Wind3\TESTBCK)Īll folders and files have been copied successfully. So I created another task on Cobian Backup using the "\\" at the beginning of the destination folder, but the task run successfully. I now have noticed that Cobian Backup uses the unit letter of the mapped drive instead of the "\\" when I select the destination folder, Cobian Reflector converts the path to the absolute with "\\". Update: Most Lenovo desktop computers ship with Windows 7, and of course you can install any other OS you like on them using VirtualBox.Yes, both the source and destination are shared folders mapped as network drives. Using the Shared Folders feature dramatically sped up my ability to transfer files between Host and Guest machines. The reason I didn't simply use a standard network share to my host OS' machine name is that both guest and host are in a VPN, and the VPN is over the Internet and in a different country, so when I went that route my files were (apparently) traveling from host to guest by way of the remote VPN network, rather than locally. With that, it's easy to share folders between the client and host OS using VirtualBox. From Windows Explorer, click on the Map network drive option, and then map a drive to \\vboxsrv\YOURSHAREDFOLDER
Once you know this, mapping shared folders is straightforward. It turns out that there is a magic word you have to know, and that is the share name for the host OS: Where are Shared Folders in a VirtualBox VM?įortunately a bit of searching yielded this article, which describes the problem nicely. I couldn't see them anywhere within the machine. However, after configuring shared folders in VirtualBox like so: When you do, they just show up in Windows Explorer and all is good. I'm familiar with VirtualPC and other such products, which allow you to share local folders with the VM. In my adventures with VirtualBox, my latest victory was in figuring out how to share folders between my host OS (Windows 7) and my virtual OS (Windows Server 2008).
