Panorama scheduled export path

Greetings,

I am trying to schedule a backup to a Windows 2019 Datacenter scp server and having pathing issues.

My SCP user defines a virtual root (e:\backup\SFTP\Panorama) but it doesn't seem to take.

From the CLI I can do a backup without an issue using...
scp export configuration from running-config.xml to panos.backup@<hostname>:/e:/backup/SFTP/Panorama

which implies there is no virtual root.

If I try from the GUI I cannot use : or / , so I cannot specify the absolute path (e:\backup\SFTP\Panorama).

If I try \backup\SFTP\Panorama it fails with path not found. Same for Panorama.

Q: How do I specify the path?

Found the issue.

SCP is not supported to Windows devices.
