TL;DR summary <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. When backing up to a Network Share, you\u2019ll need to specify the credentials (username \/ password) to allow\u00a0BackupAssist\u00a0365 to access it.\u00a0<\/li>
  2. Mixing different credentials to the same network destination across different backups is not possible. You must use the same set of credentials.\u00a0<\/li>
  3. Mixing different credentials to the same network destination across the user\u2019s\u00a0interactive\u00a0login session is also problematic. If you connect to the network share while you\u2019re logged in and are using the\u00a0BackupAssist\u00a0365 GUI, you should use the same set of credentials.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Setting up the credentials <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In BackupAssist 365, you can specify the network share in the \u201cSave to\u2026\u201d tab when creating or editing a backup: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    You must specify a valid set of credentials with read\/write access to the network share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why mixing different credentials across different backup jobs is not possible <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    All of your backups run under the same Windows account \u2013 which is the LocalSystem account on the machine where BackupAssist 365 is installed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Under the Windows security model<\/strong>, the local login session can authenticate to remote resources on a machine-by-machine basis. So, if you use different network shares on the same remote machine for different backup tasks, you must use the same set of credentials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To avoid ambiguity, here\u2019s an example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n \n \n \n
    \n
    This will work<\/h5><\/b>\n\n Back up Exchange mailboxes to \\\\canada\\mailboxes using account \u201cottawa\u201d\n

    \n Back up SharePoint to \\\\france\\sharepoint using account \u201cparis\u201d\n <\/td>\n
    		\n <\/td>\n \n
    This will not work<\/h5><\/b>\n\n Back up Exchange mailboxes to \\\\canada\\mailboxes using account \u201cottawa\u201d\n

    \n Back up SharePoint to \\\\canada\\sharepoint using account \u201cvancouver\u201d\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n <\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    In general, you can even test this out for yourself by using the \u2018net use\u2019 command from the command prompt: <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    \n\nC:>net use \\\\canada\\mailboxes \/user:ottawa
    \nEnter the password for ‘ottawa’ to connect to ‘miami’:\n
    The command completed successfully.\n\n

    \n\nC:>net use \\\\canada\\sharepoint \/user:vancouver
    \nSystem error 1219 has occurred.\n\n

    \n\nMultiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Avoiding problems with the interactive login <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you are setting up a backup job, you may find it useful to connect your interactive login session to the network share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you do, you should use the same set of credentials to avoid potential access problems with clashing credentials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When you do a restore, BackupAssist 365 GUI will access the network share from your interactive login to enable you to navigate the backup and select what to restore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The actual restore is then done by the BackupAssist 365 service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Therefore, to avoid any problems, it\u2019s easiest to use the same set of credentials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For cyber security reasons, we recommend disconnecting from the network share after you finish your tasks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
