    Hi chuber,

     

    Change the path to PCTestFolder (only) and run the backup again. 

     

     

    Kind regards,

It sounds like permission issue on the Windows Share.

There is a KB for it: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29763

But I'm not sure this is sufficient in 100% of cases. There might still be some access issues (in you don't share it properly from the PC)

    Hi chuber,

     

    The article posted by @jak0lantash might help to resolve his issue (just imagine the interface of your Legacy ReadyNAS) also don't forget StephenB's suggestion. Because one way if the folder is shared properly to the network is by accessing it on another PC. 

     

     

    Kind regards,

      To confirm, I am able to connect to the shared backup folder from other PCs. Have also followed the article to ensure that it is set to Shared->Everyone with read/write privileges.

       

      I don't think I am using the wrong settings in the backup destination folder either. I have the host as the IP addr of the destination machine (have also tried just using the computer name). The path is correct and I am using the login and password I use everyday to sign in to this machine.

       

      I wish I could post a screen shot of the FrontView setup screen.

        Hi chuber,

         

        Thanks for the information that you've provided. Let's try to isolate the problem, create another backup job and switch the backup source (PC folder) and destination (ReadyNAS share) *using a new PC folder and a new ReadyNAS share*. 

         

        With regard to uploading a screenshot, save it in .png format and upload it.

         

         

        Kind regards,
