Trying to backup a file share using duplicacy as a service but getting the error:
"Failed to set \xx\y as the current working directory"
in the event viewer log. The computer has full control permissions on the file share. Please advise.

This is likely because the service is running as the LocalSystem account which doesn't have the username/password to access the network share.
You can run psexec from the Sysinternals Suite to start a DOS prompt under the LocalSystem account:
PsExec.exe -i -s cmd.exe
You can find instructions here: https://specopssoft.com/blog/how-to-become-the-local-system-account-with-psexec/
And then run this command to set the username/password for your network share:
net use \\server\share /u:username
If dir \\server\share lists the share correctly then you're good to go.

I changed the user that the service uses to access the share from LocalSystem to a service account with full control permissions to the file share. Getting this error message in the duplicacy logs:
\xx\y operation returned an error: ERROR Invalid repository path: \xx\y
"dir \server\share" lists the share correctly.

The error message: 2018-05-17 09:01:35.478 ERROR VSS_PATH Invalid repository path: \\xx\y [09:01:35] \\xx\y Backup operation returned an error: ERROR Invalid repository path: \\xx\y

That is because you have the VSS option enabled, which doesn't work for a network share.
