Invalid user credentials!

Post by Pedroble »

Hello,

I'm trying to get SyncBack Touch to work on my laptop.

When I do a 'Test' , I get this message:

Can anyone help?
TIA.

I get as far as the 2nd 'Begin request' line, and then it times out.

I'd like to know @Pedroble's solution too.

I'm dumbfounded at the lack of examples and /or knowledge base on how to set up SBP with Touch to backup from location A-computer to remote location B-computer using SB Touch.

How do you set up a profile on the target machine if it's asking for the setup on the source machine? This seems like a cyclic issue to me.

Does location B-computer require SBP to run, or even be installed for that matter?

How do you point to the location on the target machine for the backup to store files?

Hello TXShooter,

I was sent to 'support' and the is the reply I received ...
Hi,

Thank you for contacting 2BrightSparks.

Have you installed SyncBack Touch with impersonation enabled?

If yes, you need to enter the Windows username and password on the computer where SyncBack Touch is running under: Modify profile > SyncBack Touch settings page. Then SyncBackSE connects to Touch using that username and password credentials.

Please read the help file > SyncBack Touch page for more details on Impersonation.

If you do not want to use Impersonation, please uninstall SyncBack Touch and reinstall without impersonation enabled.

Thank you

Kind Regards,"

It took a while to figure out but I reinstalled Touch without 'impersonation' and it worked
