Problems with PC to NAS backup
I have had problems with pc backup and associated areas. I have no passwords on my PC so in the source form I leave these fields blank. there has never been a problem with this on previus version...

I agreed earlier in the thread that some investigation is needed here. I don't know at this point if the problem is the backup system itself, or caused by the recent changes in Windows behavior as Microsoft has begun tightening up network share security. Though it seems likely that there are some things that need to be done in the backup system - for instance, there should be some timeouts added.
The problem with the "test source" has actujally been present since the NAS update to 6.9.0. Could live with that as backups were still working. now that more things have become apparent I am now highlighting them.
therefore I do not think it is a win10 update that is now causing the problem.
and I definitely agree with you - there should be dome sort of time out - and even an error message such as "invalid user password" when that is found - would have saved me a days scratching of head trying to work out what was happening . ( my fault it took so long - getting old and forgetful nowadays )
