Git Fetch Error with UNC

Question

I have a GIT backup script that runs perfectly when executed from command line (it\'s a daily backup of our main GIT rep):

@echo off
rem -- Set Parameters
re         


        

Answer 1

Git does work with UNC paths but typically it is more reliable to use them as Unixy paths - so git clone //backupnas/backup/repo.git for instance.

When running as a task - check that the permissions will allow your task to see the remote path with read access. Other than that - lots of echo's in the script and test the result codes for running commands. For the most recent version of msysGit you may not require the 'call git' anymore as the wrapper git.cmd got changed to a git.exe to resolve some quoting problems with ^ characters.
