n-serve backup issues

Posted by: Mike Woodcock on 17 April 2016

I recently moved properties and when I set up my Backup drive, the US wouldn't backup to it. I think this is because the ip address was different. So I removed the backup source, re-scanned and then redesigned my backup folder in n-serve, "Network Shares". When I go to "Backup Monitor", it does;t show the destination drive, I can't even select anything there and in "Network Stores" nothing is showing under Backup Devices?

I'm sure I must be doing something simple wrong - maybe a password on the NAS?

Remember the sequence...start with an EMPTY shared folder, make it a share...then a Backup Store.

Thanks Bart - I created a new share, it worked. I'll wait til I'm fully backed up and then delete the old one

Glad you got it sorted! It must have been the ip address of the nas changing that caused this; the Naim backup software does look for the specific ip address of the Backup Store.
