Problems with Backup

[Ken_Talbot]

Once again thank you Geoff

I hope don’t mind me pestering you with this

I am not very IT savvy but have enjoyed learning more about IT since using Roon

I can now see how to set this up but don’t understand why

Why does Roon need to be a separate user?

My Roon is on a ROCK

Thanks

Your Roon Core is on a ROCK - which means that it is running on a Linux operating system. Linux is not particularly au fait with Microsoft accounts. Therefore I don’t think you can use the email address form of your username in Roon, which means that you need to know what the underlying username is in your Windows 10 system, and use that instead. This is usually the name of your user folder in C:\Users. You can use this, but I just prefer to set up a specific local account dedicated to Roon’s use only.

Thanks Geoff

I understand it now

Hi @Ken_Talbot,

@Ken_Talbot

I have now had 7 nights with no back up issues

It seems that the issue was caused by the old external drive which is now not included in the schedule

Glad to hear that the issue is resolved without the old external drive in the mix!

I have gone ahead and marked this thread as [solved] but if the issues were to return, please just let us know and reference this thread and we can certainly take another look if needed here.

Thanks!
