Backup up ReadyNAS to PC
Hello, Would like to backup FROM my ReadyNAS Duo TO a PC (Win 7 Pro) on the local network. Using FrontView to set up the backup jobs. For the Source, I select one of the Shares on the ReadyNA...
Hi chuber,
Change the path to PCTestFolder (only) and run the backup again.
Kind regards,

Brian,
I don't have any log files to send yet as I have not successfully run a backup job from NAS to PC or vice versa.
Am I supposed to use Remote: Windows/NAS (Timestamp)? It is the only option I have to connect to the PC.
I tried the ip addr and the computer name (vostro) for the host. Neither works and gives the error shown below this photo
Of course, I was unable to run the Test Connection successfully, but saved the backup and ran it anyway so I could show you the log file below:

Brian (and others),
Cannot thank you enough....it works!
FIrst I changed the path as you instructed. But it still did not work. So I went back to check on the permissions. I had already followed the steps to share folders as suggested in one of the previous posts. This time however, I went to the specific folder on the destination PC and selected Advanced Sharing on the Sharing tab. I enabled Advanced Sharing (went individually to each folder). Then, everything worked.
So why do I have to do the Advanced Sharing if I already had the folders shared?
Again, huge thanks for the great help!
Because Windows ;)
