i I am a noob trying to learn this software for now just to make some very basic backups of my C Drive on my home computer.
-
I installed the software,
-
created a new repository on a local drive
-
Started a new job : volume type
-
Under computers I clicked add and added hostname of my computer as an individual computer - using my local windows user name and password for credentials (this user is the admin on my local machine)
-
Set Up backups to a local disk on my computer
-
When it attempts to run I get "Unable to process [computername] - host rescan is required
When it tried to scan I get:
Failed Unable to install backup agent: failed to connect to [computer name] Error: Access is denied. Failed to connect to share '\\[ipredacted]\ADMIN$'.
I saw that in windows run I am able to open that '\\[ipredacted]\ADMIN$'. - and the folder pops up.
I tried disabling my firewall momentarily to see if it was a port issue.
I double checked the windows credentials I entered.
Nothing seems to work - can someone point me in the right direction of what to research?
