Hello world,
i’m having problems creating a backup over network share. i followed the instruction to setup a network folder on my mac (ventura). When trying to create a backup on my embassy, following error occurs:
“Error
RPC ERROR: Filesystem I/O Error mount error(115): Operation now in progress Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs and kernel log messages (dmesg)”
Hello. I understand that you followed the guide at Start9 | Mac Network Folder and completed the backup setup successfully. However, you are encountering an error when attempting to create a backup?
I just managed. I had to turn of the firewall of my mac! Thanks for the quick response @h0mer
MacBook pro with Sequioa 15.5 here. I checked that no firewall running or vpn. And getting RPC Error when creating backup over network share? ‘RPC Error: net address parsing error invalid ip address syntax.’ The start9 running. I successfully created backup a few weeks ago?
Your Mac simply changed IP address. If you’re going to use an IP address for backups, set your Mac’s IP as static in the router’s DHCP server.
Thank you for responding to my dilemma. I haven’t had to set Mac’s IP as ‘static’ for previous backups. I have noticed the IP address changes, so I look up the address at the time of backup in ‘Sharing.’ I am learning about DHCP now. Thanks.
Hi - Also running into an RPC error when trying to add a new backup connection in Start9. I’m running Mac OS Sequoia 15.5 (24F74), firewall is not enabled, and trying to connect directly to the hostname (in the format of: smb://[HOSTNAME]). I getting the following error: RPC ERROR: Network Error name_query failed to find name
I haven’t tried using IP address approach but will try that next. I was hoping to be able to use the hostname. Eitherway, just wanted to pass this experience along! Thanks.
