Vista Backup to NAS Drive
Hi Group,
I fitted a NAS Drive to a customers Network: BT HomeHub, Dell PC running Vista connected wirelessly and 2 Dell Laptops also wireless the NAS is plugged into BT HomeHub. The customer had previously used an external USB drive connected to the Dell PC to backup to, I tried to change the Backup to the NAS drive, when I try to change the Backup schedule Vista keeps asking me for passwords to connect to the NAS, I have tried using the passwords on the NAS but then it gives a RPC error with varying code numbers then goes onto say drive J: not found. I have tried setting NAS to J: with no joy, the big kick in the pants is the NAS is seen and able to access in "My Computer" Can I delete the Backup schedule if so how do you do it? hoping someone can help.

Vista Backup to NAS Drive
Hello -
I just setup a NAS for backups for a client yesterday. This is how I acheived my goal: - On the NAS, i'm assuming you have a share folder setup called backup. If not, you can do so by connecting to the NAS through its ip address. - Map a drive to the "backup" share in "My Computer" (if one is already mapped, disconnect and remap it) - Lets say the NAS is named "NAS_Backup" on the network. The location to set the backup to go to will be \\NAS_Backup\backup. Hope this helps!

Vista Backup to NAS Drive
One more thing i forgot to mention...make sure that all the computers
(including the NAS) are in the same workgroup. I had an issue yesterday and figured out that the NAS defaulted to a workgroup called VOLUME. This is changeable in the NAS settings. I changed all the workgroups to be the same and everything went smooth after that.

Genius... PURE GENIUS. We have been trying for 4 hours and this was the holy grail of fixes. Now to restore some security setting, since everythings has been disabled to this point. -- bloodnock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bloodnock's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/217011.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...ork/899783.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
