Server Configuration Backup Plugin failing

[Mick_K 7]

Hi @@Happy2Play @@cayars,

can someone please explain in layman's terms why the Server Configuration Backup plugin has difficulty setting a network path on my DS-918+ for the Backup Path.  When I click on Network in the Folder, it fails to display anything so I have manually entered the server as in the example  (\\sever or \\192.168.1.101). It seems to display the appropriate folder but still fails to run.

 

I have tried the following paths:

 

\\NAS-MCE4\Backups (works in Windows File Explorer)

\\192.168.0.22\Backups (works in Windows File Explorer)

 

//NAS-MCE4/Backups

//192.168.0.22/Backups

 

smb:\\NAS-MCE4\Backups

smb:\\192.168.0.22\Backups

 

\\NAS-MCE4/Backups

\\192.168.0.22/Backups

 

smb://NAS-MCE4/Backups

smb://192.168.0.22/Backups

 

 

Nothing works.

 

These are extracts from the log showing no matter what backup location I try, they all come up as does not exist:

No one?

 

Would this be a Synology or a plugin problem you think?

No one?

 

Would this be a Synology or a plugin problem you think?

 

Personally I would say yes as there are different limitations per OS on these paths.  

[Happy2Play 9780]

Does this help?

Worked.

Long way around to simply access a shared network folder but no more errors in the Emby log.

Thank you Happy2Play
