ReadyNas Duo Frontview backup error with Windows 7 Pro (64)
I am trying to create a backup job in order to back up files from my remote windows 7 64-bit computer. Using the "Test connection" in Frontview>Backup>Add a new backup job I get the following message...
I've been struggling to get Backup working on Windows7 (64bit) for the last couple of weeks and finally fixed it last night.
As Clumpco above says, setting up the shares is more complicated than in previous Windows (in order to make it simpler!!)
This Wiki article - http://www.networkedmediatank.com/wiki/index.php/Windows7 - details some further steps.
However, there is another problem. For it to work at all you have to remove the Windows component Windows Live ID Sign-In Assistant.
Stopping and disabling the service is not enough, you have to remove the entire programme. It requires a reboot, although I found that Backup worked even before I had.
If you have this component on your system the backup appears to complete successfully but the log will show this:
session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0
Files copied: 0
Goggle that error message with the strings Ubuntu and "Windows 7" for more info.
