Hello Jiahwei,I use BackupPC primarily over WAN connections, so I don't use SMB. SMB protocol is probably the easiest and best for local network connected Windows PCs.
You might try using the built-in C$ share with 'administrator' credentials. I think that's how many backup programs work.

Hi Alain, Yup I read the documentation. There is this sentence which confused me whether do I actually need to install smb on the windows machine. "BackupPC needs to know the smb share user name and password for a client machine that uses smb." What does it means by the smb share user name and password? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input?
