Backup Dropbox using Double Image

I do not use Dropbox but know that it connects differently than other Windows network drives.

Here are some ideas:

Put Dropbox on a local Windows Network Drive

• Create a folder on any local drive.
  Example:  c:\Dropbox
  
• Press {Windows_Key R}
• Type: CMD in the 'Run' box to bring up a command window
• Associate the above created path with a drive letter by using the 'subst' command.

Syntax:

subst [<Drive1>: [<Drive2>:]<Path>]
subst <Drive1>: /d

For this example, we will associate c:\dropbox with virtual drive letter x:

• Type subst x:  c:\Dropbox
  This will create what looks like a normal internal drive linking to that directory. if 'subst' is used without parameters, subst displays the names of all virtual drives in effect.
• Open Dropbox and Choose advanced installation.
• Choose the folder you’ve created x:\
• Finish Dropbox installation
  These actions should have also cleared the error codes with the Dropbox tasks.
• Dropbox has a cache file which doesn’t need to be backed up, so just uncheck it.

Dropbox for multiple networked PCs?
Dropbox apparently has issues with network shares for other computers.

• try creating a mapped drive x: like in my first example;
  then do advanced install of Dropbox having it reference x:
• then shut down drop box
• then remove the mapped drive
• then create a network share to the Dropbox folder
• then map the network share to  x:\
• then fire up Dropbox...which should fool Dropbox to see the network share thinking it is a local drive folder.

If Double Image does not see a mapped drive

• when Double Image is running, then in the backup tree, right-click 'Computer'
• 'Insert Drive'
  

  

• type drive letter you know should be a mapped drive letter, like: x:
  
• press {Enter}
• select the inserted drive
  

  

• save the Double Image profile...
