I have a Windows 11 client that keeps loosing its connection to the server. Restarting the server and restarting the client has no effect. The only way to get it reconnected is to uninstall the client, download a new installer from the server, and then re-install the client. This happens about every other week.
What are you running the server on? Also, what is inbetween the client and the server network-wise? (are they on the same network, are they internet clients, is there a firewall inbetween, etc.)
I am running UrBackup on an UnRAID (v6.10.3) server. The client and the server on are on the same vlan. The client is at 192.168.100.158 and the UrBackup server is at 192.168.100.69:55413. No firewalls in between. That being said the client is running Windows Defender Firewall, and now that I am looking it looks like the UrBackup rule is gone. I am not sure what removed it (this is in my lab and I only have access to it). What should the Windows Defender Firewall rule/s look like for UrBackup?
The guide lists the ports & protocols used here: UrBackup - Server administration manual
If you allow the 3 client ones through you should be good firewall-wise.
So I think that the issue was with Windows Defender Firewall. Ever since adding the rules in manually, it has started working again. If it stops again, I’ll post here.
