Windows User Authentication

To successfully perform backup and restore operations, AhsayACB requires both read and write permission to all the files/folders selected in the backup source.

The Windows User Authentication login credentials are used by AhsayACB to ensure it has sufficient permission to access files and/or folders selected in the Backup Source, the temporary folder location, and the backup destination if it is a network drive accessible from backup machine via LAN, especially when running scheduled backup jobs, as the default Windows account used by the AhsayACB scheduler service is a local system account which does not have access to network resources.

To enable Windows User Authentication, just slide the switch to the right.

• Windows User Authentication is only required if Schedule is enabled in the backup set. If Schedule is disabled, and it does not meet any of the other criteria then providing the credentials becomes optional.
• If files and/or folders selected are located on network drive(s), the login credentials for the Windows User Authentication must have permission to access network resources, (e.g., an administrator account).
• If the machine is a file server shared by multiple users, then the AhsayACB will require login credentials with read/write permissions to access all the selected files and/or folders in the backup source (e.g., an administrator account).

• For AhsayACB installed on MS Windows version 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 using the Microsoft account for Windows User Authentication is supported, e.g., username@outlook.com.

  Some users prefer to use a pin to login to Windows, this cannot be used for the Windows User Authentication. The pin can only be used for logging in to Windows and is not applicable for the Windows User Authentication. The password of the account must be provided instead of the pin to access files and/or folders in the backup source.
