Robocopy script returns "Access denied" or "The username and password is incorrect

Votes:

0

Hello, I am running a simple robocopy script to make a back up of a folder from my Server (where we installed the PRTG core server) to a NAS, as the following:

Robocopy
ServerAddress\WorkingFolder\
NASAddress\BackupFolder /COPY:DAT /B /MIR \LOG:C\RBLOG.TXT

The file is saved as robocopy.bat, placed in the Notification/EXE folder of the PRTG, as instructed.

The error was follow:

ERROR 1326 (0x0000052E) Creating Destination Directory
NASAddress\RMBACKUP\ The user name or password is incorrect.

According to Microsoft, the /COPY:DAT is a default, require no username/password to execute the script. I run the script manually in the Server and it works just fine

I did not specify Username and Password in the "Execute Program" setting though. If I must, what is the username/password then?

Could anyone show me how to make this work? Thank you

Hi,

You need to enter credentials of an administrator for the target device to execute the script out of PRTG.

Kind regards,

Hey Marijan,

In addition to user/password, it is actually required to as well use the /COPY:DAT to copy to the NAS. As my NAS does not accept secure NTFS, Owner and Auditing info, so if I put /COPY:DATSOU, it won't work even with username/pass

But thanks for the advice Cheers

Hi James,

PRTG must be able to execute the script and therefore PRTG need an username and password.
