Source cannot be mounted on the system

Hello, I cannot backup data from my Windows 8 computer through the peer-to-peer network to the RaedyNas 102. I get the following error message: "... Source cannot be mounted on the system". When I setup the backup job the connection works when testing in the the "Source" screen of the backup job definition. Thanks for help!

  • I just ran into this error.  Couldn't figure out why my backups hadn't happened on schedule; turns out the router changed the IP for my source computer, so had to change the IP in the "Backup"->"Jobs"->"Settings"->"Source" menu to match the computer.  My status went from "Fail" to "In Progress".

     

    Hope that helps someone.
