I need a Screenshot of Backup Source
As much as I try I do not seem to be able to set up a back up. I cannot connect and don't know if it's the PC (Win XP) the Modem/ Router (Virgin Media Superhub) or my ReadyNas DUO V2. If I knew I ...
Now been in contact with NAS Support who advised the following for my specific request to set up a back up of 'My Documents' on my WIN XP Machine:-
"Configuring a backup job from a PC to the ReadyNAS can be done provided the folder on the PC is configured as a shared folder. This will enable the ReadyNAS to see the folder and transfer files over. Please make sure that the folder is shared before you proceed. For the backup job settings, please refer below:
ReadyNAS Backup Job Settings
HOST: IP address of the Windows XP Machine
PATH: My Documents
LOGIN: (leave this blank)
PASSWORD: (leave this blank)"
Unfortunately this did not work so I have responded to the suggestion accordingly. I'm currently awaiting a further update. Note that I have the Windows Firewall turned off all the time as I have Norton NIS installed which was also turned off (Firewall and Anti Virus) for the purpose of testing this suggestion.
I'll keep you posted of my progress.
