Why do my backup fail when I target a network share hosted by a Synology DS211 disk station?
- by Larry
My backups are failing when I try to use a network share hosted by a Synology DS211 disk station. They work fine if I target a different network share (i.e. \server1\data\larry).
When I run the following command:
Wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\diskstation\backup-larry -include:C:
This is what I get:
wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool

Note: The backed up data cannot be securely protected at this destination.
Backups stored on a remote shared folder might be accessible by other
people on the network. You should only save your backups to a location
where you trust the other users who have access to the location or on a
network that has additional security precautions in place.

This will back up volume WIN7(C:) to \\diskstation\backup-larry.
Do you want to start the backup operation?

Note: The list of volumes included for backup does not include all the
volumes that contain operating system components. This backup cannot be used
to perform a system recovery. However, you can recover other items if the
destination media type supports it.
The backup operation to \\diskstation\backup-larry is starting.

Summary of the backup operation:
------------------
The backup operation stopped before completing.
Detailed error: Access is denied.
Windows Backup failed to write the file: '<backup location>\WindowsImageBackup\<Computer Name>\MediaId'.
Access is denied.
The backup creates the following path \\diskstation\backup-larry\WindowsImageBackup\LARRY-MYDOMAIN\ but its empty.
I definitely have read/write access on the target directory (\diskstation\backup-larry). I have verified this by looking at the permission and by actually copying files to this location.
Any suggestions?
