Backup Status: Fail: authentication error during copy.

I am trying to backup department shares and most of the time I get the error "Backup Status: Fail: authentication error during copy."

Sometimes the backup is successful but most of the time it is not. I am guessing the readynas does not backup properly if some of the files are in use.

Any info appreciated.

  • I have the same difficulty. The error was absent on the first backup, but persists now. No files in the source (remote) location are in use. Any help will be appreciated.

    If you reboot the NAS and PC do you still get the error?

    What firmware version are you running?

    What version of Windows?

    What level of AD?
