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.
