FMC remote backup account question

JG1978 — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 17:14:46 GMT

Does anyone know what account FMC uses to backup/move backup to a remote location? I have enabled remote storage to a windows share but the backup immediately fails. If I add "everyone" r/w then the backup appears to work.

I would like to lock the share down to whatever specific account FMC uses but I cannot find anything in the documentation.

Anyone know?

When you defined the SMB type remote storage device in the first place so that it would be an option for your backup copy, that's where the credentials are entered.

See System > Configuration > Remote Storage Device.
