Hola mates, I'm trying to configure BACKUPMON but I can't make it work, I think I've done everything but it seems to me that something is missing. I don't have much experience with this addons, can you tell me that I could be miss. TKS.!





BACKUPMON Backup Target Network Connection Tester

The Backup Target Network Connection Tester allows you to play with your connection
variables, such as your username/password, network UNC path, target directories and
local backup drive mount paths. If your network target is configured correctly, this
utility will write a test folder out there, and copy a test file into the test folder
in order to validate that read/write permissions are correct.

You need to import your settings before you attempt to test the connection.

Use the option p before you use the option t.

Ok, perfect. So... what's wrong with this? Tks.

That still looks like the default settings.
You need to import your settings with the option p before you use the option t.

Did you configure your settings for the add-on ?
Why is the username admin and the password admin? Why is the network address still the default 192.168.50.25?

Load the add-on, configure your SMB settings with option "sc"
Then once done, you can then go to the test network backup and first import your settings with option p and then test with option t.

1. What is the destination device at 192.168.50.25?
2. Is it on the same subnet as your RT-BE86U?
3. What protocol is being used?
4. Has the Backups directory been created, and is it accessible via admin user?

Sorry mates, I just want to load my backups on my USB disk. Make the changes but in the test it gives me this. My disk is dedicated entirely to the router in ext4 format.
