Backup on Duo v2 and Window 7 64 bit
After reading about 15-20 posts here and elsewhere on the web and spending about 2-3 hours with the Netgear tech support staff, I figured out how to resolve the problems I was having using the Duo v2 ...
I was told the same thing - that you had to share with "EVERYONE". That seemed crazy... It's like being told that we've fixed your car, but you have to leave the keys in the ignition at all times?!
Anyway, I solved it, by just sharing the folder I wanted to backup, with myself (user name obviously, with full control), rather than everyone. Did the same for Shared folders, and other user's folder.
And it backed up perfectly, without anyone on the network having access to my data. So simple, and can't believe they don't suggest this, rather than just defaulting to everyone.
