New Backup Job - where are my folders?

I lost a drive and decided to reformat in Raid 1. After that, I deleted all my backup jobs and started over. When adding a new job, my folders are missing. Nothing under the root Drive folder. The connected USB drive in which I want to backup to is found with all its data. Am I missing something?

These are not shares. They are folders within a specific "private" user share.

The shares are in the left pane (and these folders are in the user share you blotted out).

    Can't see it for now. We'll have to wait for a moderator to approve it.

When you created a new volume, of course the old shares were all destroyed. Although some shares are created by default during a factory default, none are created automatically when you manually create a new volume.

So after you reformatted you needed to re-create the shares.
