backing up to network
I have 2 Win 10 computers. Recently I had to do a clean install of win 10 on one of them. Up until then I have been backing up from one computer to another without a problem. Now Acronis is asking that I provide my computer credentials to back up to it. I assume that would be my computer name and password. The problem is I don't use passwords to login to either of my computers. It worked fine before. Why is it asking me now?

I left both homegroups, rebooted and restablished them. I made sure all my folders and drives were shared. I can access all folders on either computer from the other one. I still get the Account and password required in Acronis. What account and what password? Is the account my computer name? Is the password my homegroup password? If it is it doesn't work. I tried Computer name and leaving the password blank but that doesn't work either. On my other compyter it says Authentication settings and says Path and my other computer. Again I have no idea what it wants me to put in to username and password.

particularly the section "Where Acronis True Image 2016 stores credentials for accessing NAS/network shares"
You may need to clear the saved credentials in the registry to get it to prompt for them again. Once prompted, you enter the credentials as:
\\computername\username where the computer name is that of the system hosting the share. If you're using Windows 10 and a Windows Live account for login, the username should be your email account.
