Can't backuping Network drive

[ts678]

@forcam48

Is it possible to make a connection to the network using Duplicati himself?

Revisiting - System.IO.IOException: The specified server cannot perform the requested operation went through a rough phase where I cited the link I gave to you, plus lots more on the history of this challenge. Finally the tradeoffs were analyzed, and the following was chosen. Maybe the same plan works for you?

@Daine

I moved things and then also changed the service to run as me instead of as the Local System account .
It occurred to me that there really was/is nothing under any other accounts that is important. Or better said, being able to backup those files from the NAS is more important than backing up data from any other accounts.
Everything seems to be running normally…

I’m not sure what other steps are needed. It might need some help, but at least it could access the share.

EDIT:

Service install - Backup to a network share (ie. FreeNAS) may also be of interest, and explains how using ordinary user account for the service can get into a password change issue for the service if the user ever changes passwords. If this is a problem for you, information is available on the Internet on how to handle it.
