When running a BMR verify settings you may get Restore Validation Failed Error The network path was not found as seen below:
Backup path specified in the project by default shows a path that starts with an admin share like \\C$, or \\G$, or \\F$. Due to hardening, some environments may restrict accounts access to admin shares.
In the Forest Project, specify the path to the folder that contains the backups using the host IP address instead of a C$ drive, or any drive like for example:
\\IP_Address\Backups_Folder_name
Also, make sure that the account specified in the forest project to access the backups have permissions configured properly to access the backup folder.
