change user and password for network share

Thread needs solution

Dear Helpers!

In Acronis Ture Image 2021 I have added a network share to a backup scheme. Acronis asked for user and password. Now the user changed so I would like to change the credentials for the network share but can not find the place in Acronis where I can change or reset the credentials. If I delete the job and create a new job Acronis still "remembers" the old credentials.

Does anyone have a hint?

Kind regards

MS

Welcome to these public User Forums.

If the network resource you are accessing has not changed, i.e. the IP address or NAS name etc, then the change of user access credentials should be able to be changed by reselecting the backup destination for the task.

If it is not possible to reselect the destination, then the next option is to use the Delete option for the task and just remove the task settings (not try to delete all backup files).

Once the task is removed, then use the option to 'Add existing backup' which is found to the right of the normal + Add backup option under the caret 'v' there.

Select the most recent backup file from the network share location after giving the new credentials, which will add in a new task using the file name selected.  The new task will need to be reconfigured before it can continue to be used.
