(SMSP)Error during backup FEW: The path is not a legal form

belgianbiscuit — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:48:14 GMT

Hi there,

I am getting a completed with exception result when I make backups through SMSP.
When I look into job details I see:

Errors: Error During Backup FEW: The path is not legal form.

What does this actually means and at what level is the issue located?

I only seem to get this error if I include the front-end web servers in the backup plan.

Cheers

is this one that your team handles or should the question be asked in the NetApp Support Community?
