Can't add backup path - Client

I have problem with client where i can’t add backup path. I added around 20 clients, and i only have problem with this one. The pc settings are same on each, but on this one only show me the name on the bottom of it. Any idea?

What OS versions are being used on the working and non-working systems?

Hello, this is main server PC.
pc

And this is client pc
exc 23 win

Are all of the ones that work also version 2004, or are they 20H2 or 21H1?

The other ones are 20H2 and 21H1. I also update the problematic pc to version 20H2 but its still the same.

And I take it that the client software is all v2.4.11

Have you compared the settings.cfg file on multiple machines?

Normal location on x64 Windows: "C:\Program Files\UrBackup\urbackup\data\settings.cfg"

Hi, i compared to cfg files.

The first one is not giving options of path choose :

The difference i found is line

backup_dirs_optional=
backup_dirs_optional_def=,

first is true, and the second one is false. When i change to false like it is on working one its still not working.

I actually see a lot of differences between those two files. I recommend that you use something like WinDiff or WinMerge or BeyondCompare to look at them.

Here’s a summary of those differences as seen in BeyondCompare.

I solved the problem. I dont know why but when i delete the client, and add new one with same name it doesnt work. I add the new one with new name and its fine now. Thanks.
