Backerupper-To Share/NAS- Specified path does not exist or is not writeable
Want to do a System Backup from PC running AOMEI Backerupper Pro (PC1) to an external drive on a different PC (PC2) on the same local network. The folder on the external drive to which the image is to be written ("Sysimage-Dif-Z820") is shared with write permission for PC1 and with windows explorer on PC1, I can see the folder and write to it. From the "Share/NAS Management" window I added PC2 using the ip address. The management window then showed all the folders on PC2 and I selected the external drive and the management window created another directory entry on the left side: "\\192.168.1.118\P Drive on HTPC (Backup)" and listed all the folders on the external drive. I then selected the folder to backup the image: "Sysimage-Dif-Z820", then "OK" and the management window closes and the System Backup window, "Step2" area does not show the address and has the message below it saying: "The specified path does not exist or is not writable".
Clearly the path exists (selected it from the Share/NAS Management window). Why would it not be "writable"? since I can write to it from PC1 using Window Explorer on PC1?

I was successful doing the backup by creating a mapped drive/folder for the PC2 folder and selecting the mapped folder from "This PC" instead of selecting the folder from "Share/NAS". I would prefer NOT to use mapped folders, however, as I will run out of drive letters if I have to assign one to each different folder I want to save a backup to.
Too bad really, because I like AOMEI product in general and have used with local HDD via USB connection for several years now. This is going to be a deal breaker for the setup I now need though.
