Hey all, I've been a casual Freenas user for sometime at work. My system is currently only being used to back up a couple Linux machines, but I'd like to also back up a few Windows Server 2012 machines to it as well.
I appear to have the CIFS share set up correctly... I've set up the users correctly, and I've set up the back up user on the 2012 machine and mounted the network drive. Tested permissions, copied files and executed them, etc....
I'm trying to stick to using the built in windows server backup function(The free route), but I'm getting trouble every time I try to initiate a backup. The back up begins creating the shadow copy process, eventually hangs for a few minutes, then all of the following steps proceed to fail. At this point I've only tried setting up the backup process to an old 2003 server and it appears to work fine.
I figured maybe the samba version being used by Freenas on the CIFS share was the issue so I set the minimum protocol to 3, still no luck.
At this point I'm considering attaching another local drive and backing up to it, then transferring the files using powershell, but I'd rather avoid going that route.
Has anyone else encountered similar issues backing up a windows 2012 server to their Freenas box?
Thanks for your time!
