Home 2009 & network backup drives - Authentication problem
ok, I'm still using 2009, asi'm not happy with latest releases, on my Vista PC. I recently bought a Network backup drive pod (with 2 drives in Raid 1). Now the problem I'm having is when I edit a backup task, it keeps coming up with a message "You have selected remote resource and have not specified credentials for it. Select "IT" and click Authentication settings button on the toolbar" ... !! ?? but I cannot see the toolbar anywhere ? It's not in the Source nor Target ??
Help?

Thanks Shadow, but I need to know where exactly to input the network login details (userid / password) to login to the network backup HDDs.
When I EDIT a scheduled backup task, there is a SOURCE page, for files location etc, and DESTINATION page for for backup location. Neither of these screens have a place to input network login details ?
Any help?
Thanks

Grant,
I believe this is what you are looking for. It's under the Scheduling heading. Let me know if this helps.

yeah, i saw that but I use that to login to my computer. i need a login for my computer and my network HDD backup pod
hmmmm, do I really need a computer login .. i'll play around.

No ,didn't work - that Userid and password needs to be Computer login
Funny when I start Acronis 2009 and edit a scheduled task, a window pops up asking for network UserID and password, but when the task is activated it bombs out with a I/O error. This can only be fixed by removing all authentication from my Backup Pod .. not safe.
hmmmmm ...

What about deleting and recreating the scheduled task?

THANK YOU! that worked. a popup window appeared wanting the network login details, and even though the network test button kept saying FAIL, it actually worked.
It must save the network details somewhere.
thanks again.
