Known Issues:

  • Due to limitations in Windows, only one set of user credentials can be used for a connection to a file server per Yosemite Server Backup client. If multiple shares on a server have different allowed users, consider creating a backup user which has permissions to all shares, or configure connections to the shares from different Yosemite Server Backup clients.
  • Due to limitations in Windows, changes in the credentials for a file-share connection will not take effect until the Yosemite Server Backup service is restarted.
  • After full-system, non-Disaster-Recovery restores of Windows 8 machines, initial log-in may not proceed beyond the Metro background screen. Logging out and then back in will resolve the issue.
