I am wanting to keep my target backup drive unmounted to hide it from ransomware agents. To my knowledge ransomware agents are doing their evil work via drive letters -- encrypting the contents of mounted drives.
I can get the Volume ID of my target drive ( \\?\Volume{e8ba9340-783b-4e30-82d6-58d6120182c8}\ ) and I can use it as a path in Windows Explorer. However, when I use this as a path in Syncovery I get an error message:
Cannot access right path:
\\?\Volume{e8ba9340-783b-4e30-82d6-58d6120182c8}\
The filename, ,directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
Is there something I can do syntactically that will make this work?
Is there a different way to access an unmounted volume?
