I have now used roon for about a month and is very satisfied. I have just made a backup to Dropbox and it says it was a succesful backup. How can I see that? I would also like to make a backup to my computer and my external hard drive. When I try to backup I type the following in network share location: smb://Klauss-MacBook-Pro-2.local/Mybackups and get this message " Could not connect to share: Host not found.
My system:
Naim Nova
Zen Mk.II Music Server
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017 - Version 10.13.1
Hey @Klaus_Hansen – sorry for the slow response. It’s been Thanksgiving this week in the States, so things are a bit slower than normal.
So, just to make sure we’re understanding this correctly:
So you are trying to backup from the server to a shared folder on the MacBook right? Are there any other laptops or devices in your house accessing the shared folder on the MacBook?
It would be useful to know if other devices on your network are able to access the shared folders on your Mac. If you have another Mac or laptop of any sort, I would confirm that that device can connect to the shared folder on the MacBook.
Also, remember these folders need to be shared using SMB. You can find some information about how to do that here.
My goal with the above is to confirm that sharing on the Mac is setup properly, then we can take a closer look at what’s happening with the server and Roon. Let us know how that goes and we’ll take it from there. Thanks!
Yes I try to backup from the server to a shared folder on my MacBook. The only devices in the shared folder is my Zen Music server. My Zen Music Server can see my shared folders on the server.
But the only thing that appears in shared folders is my Zen Music Server. And I don’t have another Mac or Laptop
