Backup and Restore (External Backup)

Post by smcneece »

Hello everyone, so I was trying to setup a backup using the Backup and Restore (External Backup) app to backup the entire NAS weekly to a very large USB drive. I am logged in as admin, but the home dir does not show as a choice. Which of course is going to miss all the users folders data. What am I missing? I did read the sparse manual.

Thanks for any guidance!

You'll need to enable "User Homes" shared folder (ADM web -> Access Control -> Shared Folder -> User Homes -> Edit -> UN-check "Disable file access to this shared folder"), you should be able to see all of homes. User should be in administrator group.
