Backing up Windows Server 2012 to a ReadyNas3100 share
Hello everyone, as stated above, I run into trouble backing up Windows Server 2012 to a share on an older ReadyNas 3100 Business Edition. I have no trouble accessing the share via windows explore...
try smb 1 ran into this while back and I forget exact steps to correct but was smb related on both nas AND server.
iirc there was also local security policcy change on server to edit
It seems to be a part of the problem - I finally figured out a solution that works for my case:
Windows Server 2012:
1) Show status of SMB protocols via powershell:
"Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select EnableSMB1Protocol, EnableSMB2Protocol"
2) If SMB1 is not enabled:
"Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB1Protocol $true"
3) Important: Add the user that the planned backup is run with (in my case, the Server administrator's credentials) on the ReadyNAS with the appropriate rights (user and password must match the one on the server, lowercase and uppercase seem to matter)
After this, backups planned via Windows Server Backup no longer throw up errors and the nightly backup to the NAS works. Hope this helps others who run into similar problems with SMB.
