problem creating a new rsync backup job
Hello friends, not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I'm trying to create another rsync backup job to the front usb port.
I'm matching the process I used on the other jobs I've created but I'm getting an error when I Test Connection:
Unable to connect to remote folder. Invalid network name or permission denied. Code: 7077010012
-Here are settings from a job that has no problem:
From remote system
Host: 127.0.0.7
Protocol: remote:Rsync Server
Port: 873
Path: jobs
If I test connection on this job it's fine.
-But if I set up a new job from a different share:
From remote system
Host: 127.0.0.7
Protocol: remote:Rsync Server
Port: 873
Path:audio-video
If I test connection on this job it gives me the error.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
thanks

I assumed that both backup jobs were going to the same USB drive - if that's the case the issue is more likely to be on the source share.
But rsync needs to be enabled on both the source share and the destination. So check both.

This should be 127.0.0.1

Also, make sure that rsync is enabled for the audio-video share.
The "Test Connection" just tests that the destination is reachable via the protocol (TCP port) you want to use (in this case, rsync). Very likely the issue is that rsync is not enabled as a protocol, on the USB.
It should not matter whether you use 127.0.0.7 or 127.0.0.1 as all 127.x.x.x address point to the loop-back. However, it is normal practise to use 127.0.0.1
Cheers
