NO errors AND data lost when 2 files of same name backed up
I'm running a Duo v2 running 5.3.5 As I have a number of shares, but only a single backup drive, I wondered what would happen if 2 shares had the same file name. Would both files backup correctly or ...

I agree that would prevent the issue arising in the first place, however there isn't an option to be able to select this (unless I'm doing something wrong). (Currently I'm thinking of having every share having a unique folder at root level, but I can't guarantee no-one will decide to save something else there)
The options available to me in Frontview, and my selections are as follows:
Type : remote
Name : remote:Windows/NAS (Timestamp)
Host : READYSHARE
Path: : USB_Storage
as you can see the host is the router
and the path becomes the USB drive off the back of it.
I've tried to add a sub-path to the Path (e.g. USB_Storage\Folder or USB_Storage/Folder) but 'Test Connection' fails.
