problem with login (lowercase/uppercase letters) to Synology NAS

Post by xarlien »

Hello Veeam Agent for Windows 5.0.3.4708 has problem when you want backup to Shared Folder destination and in username are mixed uppersace/lowercase. This is tested on more Synology NAS.

I have path: \\nas-my\folder and login on NAS "NameS" ... and this is not work.

But when i create on NAS username with lowercase only "names", this work.

Other apps/os can use login "NameS" (max upper/lower case) but Veeam Agent not.

Please fix it. Thank you.

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

Hmm, it sounds like the reason is Samba / Linux (which is used on Synology as far as I remember). Also this thread points into that direction.

So my question is: why does Synology allow such usernames? If I try creating a Linux user with lowercase / uppercase mix, then it tells me
adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
via the NAME_REGEX configuration variable. Use the `--force-badname'
option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX.
Best regards,
Hannes

I understand, but other SW has no problem, only Veeam.
