Resolved Shared Backup on Network Drive

Hello,

I recently purchased a new Buffalo TerastationIII, and NovaStor Backup.
I have noticed that the Terastation is basicly accessable from any PC in my network, not very secure, I worry that my backups may become damaged or deleted.
I see that I can create a folder on the device with a password to access it but will I loose the abilty to auto backup, will I have to manualy back up each pc?

 

How about creating a new user on every PC, giving a strong password & allow only that user to access the drive ? May work.

 

Well, good for me we did that all the pc's in my network have and admin user account and the employees are just standerd users(win7) or limited(xp).
Doing something wrong, cause the non-admin users have access to the net drive. Even though I have to use the admin account to set up the nova backup and have nova run ussing the admin credintials it has exposed the net drive to all users of that pc, which in turn is now every user on every pc in my network that has been set up to use network backups.

 

I have not used the drive or the software in question, but in most cases you can define the user that would access the drive on the backup drive itself. Poke around the settings a bit, there could be some setting that could allow you to do that.
