Acronis 2013 and Seagate Central NAS drive problem
Hi There
I have managed to install a Seagate Central 3T NAS drive.
I did a continuous backup with 2013 which completed fine.
I checked I could read the backup which I could.
I rebooted the computer, remounted the drive and opened Acronis.
The backup showed in the window but appeared not to be available.
I managed to find the backup on the NAS drive but now Acronis is showing two backups.
Only one can have files restored from it, the other needs credentials.
I tried the drive user and password, that does not work.
There are no passwords set on the network.
I added a new subdirectory to a C: drive directory but continuous backup does not appear to be updating the NAS drive.
Any suggestions to what I am doing wrong welcome.

Hi There
Thank you for that.
Problems slowly sorting out.
Just had a big power failure in local town so had backup failure message.
Gave up and deleted previous backup.
Managed to recognise drive by putting UCS into Windows run.
I still had to mount the drive but used UCS again and I have started a new continuous back up.
Public directory accessible but private directory won't accept user name and password but I don't need that to back up.
I have struggled with backups for almost 4 weeks now. (Only bought Acronis yesterday as my old version does not do NAS drives.)
I gave up on a WD mybook live, never thought of trying Acronis.
Got a Seagate Central at the weekend and making much more progress.
Hopefully all sorted now, will post after back up done and proved I can restore a file or two at least.

Hi There
Backup succesful.
Looks like I can restore individual files if I need to.
How do I validate the backup to be sure I can restore?
If I create a new directory in the root of a hard drive that is on nonstop backup will it back it up automatically?
