Help!

Have just noticed that my Windows server backup has not been working for a few days .

Have just set up a hyper v setup with 2x dc's a file server and a physical backup server.

The file server was happily backing up to the backup server .

But , and this is the only thing I can remember changing , I changed the domain administrator password ( the dc's are replicated)

 

(I set up a backup operator user to access the folder before)

 

And the error message I am getting is specified remote shared folder is not accessible.

 

Any ideas? Had to leave the premises before I could do any more trouble shooting but planning to go in tomorrow to resolve :-/ ( or at the very least do a manual backup till resolved )

 

Any tips ideas to try for tmw much appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Does the backup service run as a specific account? You need to update the password there when you change the account password. Also check services and see if an account is listed for its service.

Hi zero hour - i didn't set it up so not sure but will take a look tomorrow .

The set up is 2dc's replicated. The fileserver across both dc's (all 3 virtual)

The backup server is a physical server and with a tape drive.

The backup was setup on the fileserver to write to the tape drive (shared tape drive folder ) and a user setup with rights to that user folder specifically for doing the backups. So , would changing the dc password affect the relationship between the fileserver and the backup server?

Sorry if a bit garbled - all new to me!

Thanks for the help
