When i try to backup some file between two pc in my lan the program appears to can't copy the file in subdirs instead it copy the file in the main tread. i'm using 2.5 beta 7 on win 2000 i recive 'Error copying new file:[FILENAME]' error for each file in a subdir.

it works if the remote folder is mapped as drive

In the same way, I've experienced the same troubles copying files from PC under Win ME towards a PC under Win 2000 trough LAN. However when remote PC is mapped as a drive, everything works fine. Great software!

Yes I have the same problem no sub directory's are backed up! I'm using 2.5 beta 6. I tried a mapped drive as well. the log file says "Could not change attributes: \\dnxxxxxxx" Checked the permisions and i can create folders.

If I create a folder on the network then I can backup and NHB will create subdir folders. However, if I map the LAN drive as P: or \\Server\pictures then NHB will not create subdir. I have to make the subdir on the destination first so that it will backup the content. It looks like I can not map to the root and auto create subdir.
