Unable to schedule backup, as the network Backup Data Path is not accessible by Tally Scheduler.
Cause: Tally Scheduler does not have access to the network data path.
Resolution:
It is recommended to schedule backup on the same system (data server) where the company data is stored. However, if you want to schedule backup from client machine, the Tally Scheduler service running on the client machine must have the necessary Windows read/write permissions to access the company data on the server.
If you have a local service account/account which has access to the network source path then change the ‘log on as’ of Tally Scheduler service.
You can configure the Service to run under a specific user account.
- Press Win+R, type
services.msc, and click OK. - Locate Tally Scheduler <version> – <port number> in the list of services.
- Click on Log On and then This Account and provide the details.
- Click OK and then Apply.
Tally Scheduler will run on the configured account. To lean more, refer to Log on as a service – Windows 10 | Microsoft Learn.
