2.4.13 | Windows 2012 R2 Server | Windows 10 Pro client
Getting log error:
- Constructing of filelist of “ROBERT-PC2” failed: no backup dirs. Please add paths to backup on the client (via tray icon) or configure default paths to backup.
Settings.cfg in %programfiles%\urbackup\urbackup\data updates to match the settings placed in the GUI on the server.
The server has the settings specific to this client with permissions disabled for “allow client-side changing of the directories to backup:”
To get it to sync, I enabled that setting, went to the client, removed all folders that were defined there, then restarted the client.
I then disabled that setting in the server UI.
The error continues to occur despite having the following entry in the UI and in the settings.cfg file:
- default_dirs=c:\agtek;C:\Program Files (x86)\PlanSwift10;c:\Users\robert.WOODALLCONST\Desktop;c:\Users\robert.WOODALLCONST\Documents;c:\Users\robert.WOODALLCONST\Downloads
- default_dirs_def=c:\agtek;C:\Program Files (x86)\PlanSwift10;c:\Users\robert.WOODALLCONST\Desktop;c:\Users\robert.WOODALLCONST\Documents;c:\Users\robert.WOODALLCONST\Downloads
I don’t know if there is a setting to change that forces it to look back to the above settings that resides on the workstation, but it seems that there should be.
