Changed IP address wont find backup chain
Hi. I had to replace my modem router and it won't allow me to use the IP address I was using (192.168.2.x) (seems it's reserved for the guest network) and have had to change everything to a different network including the NAS as a fixed address. My typical config is to wake up the PC's and backup to my NAS on a weekly basis.
I noticed that the last backup failed and on investigation it said it couldn't find the backup chain. One would suspect that it's simply the change that's caused it, but both the NAS and the PC have DNS names so shouldn't have made a difference. So my questions are:-
Why can't I simply change the IP address of the backup schedule.
What would happen if I had a failure and "restore" doesn't find the entire chain (how do I get it to look for it).
Cheers
Dayle...
