rn212 OS 6.6.0 BackUP job not working

I have RN212 with OS 6.6.0 and can't start a backup job from a Windows 7 PC. My NAS and PC are in the same workgroup. I have a shared folder with full access to everyone. While setting a backup job the connection is successful, but after starting the backup the job works for 2 sec. and the status is completed, but there are no files and folders in destination folder.

 

Here is the Log

Backup Job Name: Recover
Backup Job Type: Full
Protocol: cifs
Backup Source: [remote:cifs]///192.168.1.9/1think
Backup Destination: [Documents]/Recover
Backup Start Time: Sun Sep 30 2018 22:18:46
Backup Finish Time: Sun Sep 30 2018 22:18:48
Backup Status: Success

 

What I am setting wrong?

It looks to me like the issue is in on the PC, not the NAS.

Perhaps try using your Windows username/password in the backup job.

 

There is a difference between network permissions and file permissions.  It sounds like you have the network permissions on the PC set to allow access, but perhaps the file permissions aren't.

OK. I will play with user rights on NAS.

You are absolutely right @StephenB. Thanks for the advice.

 

The problem was in the PC. Something is wrong with User rights. I have tested the same NAS with different PC and it works perfect. I even have attached my HDD as secondary HDD to other PC and successfully have Backuped the foders I needed to Backup. 

Now I have to install from scratch my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit because can't diagnose the user access problems. With new installation there wont be any problems.
