Backup not working
I haven't run my regular backup jobs for a month. In that time I have: Replaced disk #1 after failure & resynced Replaced disk #2 after failure & resynced Upgraded to version 4 of FrontView N...
Help!
Background:
Host: Windows XP
ReadyNas NV+
Firmware 4.1.6
Running as Administrator on the ReadyNas and on the XP host
I have been trying to get backup jobs to work via Frontview for a ~week now. Tried both IP and host name to no avail. I just got a test case to work, but it required the folder to be backed up to be shared. Why won't a non-shared connect?
The test follows:
1. Created a folder c:\aaa
2. Created a .txt document within this folder
3. Attempted to backup using Windows Timestamp
4. Results: unable to connect
5. Made the folder c:\aaa fully shared
6. Was able to connect
7. Backup was successful
8. Then made c:\aaa unshared and repeated
9. Backup failed (logs follow)
