Is there a share already ? Could you please list this share with Get-NetFileShares -Server 10.82.72.8 ?
I think in your path parameter is incorrect. It should start with C:\ or another drive letter.

my issue is only when trying to create a new file shares, just to let you know, the storage is NetApp Cloud Volume

Thanks. I am shure now, that your fault is the path you use in your command. Try it like this:

New-NetShare -Name "testscript" -Path "C:\EUWDRVolume01_share\G_Drive\testfromCVO" -Server 10.82.72.8

You have to use C:\ and backslashes ( \ )
Check also the backup script I added that prepares cemmands to (re-)create shares as they where during backup. It is easy to just change the share-name and create a second share on the same path.

thanks alot for your quick reply, actually when I was trying with C:\ path i'm getting an error.

New-NetShare -Name "testscript" -Path "C:\EUWDRVolume01_share\G_Drive\testfromCVO" -Server 10.82.72.8

the backend storage is NetApp Cloud Volume and actually the path on the system has to be in the format /EUWDRVolume01_share/G_Drive/testfromCVO, and the error i'm getting is Incorrect parameters,

New-NetShare -Name "testscript" -Path "/EUWDRVolume01_share/G_Drive/testfromCVO" -Server 10.82.72.8

when using Windows based shares it is working fine on other windows file servers, the problem I'm facing is just only with NetApp storage
