Hi,
I moved my client backups folder to another drive. Next morning the devices tab has no devices listed. All drives and storage spaces are available. In the event log, there are 3 log entries (details below).
I moved the folders back to the original drive. In both cases, all the backups are still working (log entries confirm successful completion).
Is there a way to rebuild the devices page?
Additional question: How to I restore a server when I cannot see the server backup? I tried using the windows backup app but it only appears to show 3 days of backups and (as you'd guess) the system had this failure 4 days ago.
(System is an Acer EasyStore 340 with WSE 2012 RTM installed - working perfectly for months..)
