Hi there,
This is my first guess: Are you trying to backup the DFM database to the root of CIFS share? If so, try creating a sub directory and see if that works. Here’s an example:
Before creating a sub directory:
C:\Users\Administrator>dfm backup create \\<server_name>\vol_share_2\backupname2
Disabling Performance Advisor.
Failed to create the temporary backup directory \\<server_name>\vol_share_2\dfm_temp_dest_dir. Error:-1.
Enabling Performance Advisor.
Error: Could not prepare the keystore file for backup.
After creating a sub directory:
C:\Users\Administrator>dfm backup create \\<server_name>\vol_share_2\backup\backupname2
Disabling Performance Advisor.
Copying keystore for backup ...
