Changing Network path to backup not possible
Hi,
due to a change of my network the network IP adress to my NAS has changed. Now I cannot continue my incremental backups as the former path is not valid anymore and it seems there is no feature in the Software to update a storage path of an existing backups. The scheduled backups do not work either.
How can I change the path to access my backup destination again?
Thanks for any help!

This is the third or fourth time I've seen this happen just on this forum. It should be easy and might be a good idea to add a bullet note in your help documents that if backing up to a NAS (especially for home users) to give the destination a "static" IP address to avoid this problem. Every router I've used gives you this option and is an easy operation.
thanks for your hint! This works but nevertheless it should be possible to change the network path in AOMEI backupper itself.
@admin: your suggestion did not work. Instead an error message pops up saying "Changing not possible because the actual path is not a valid one"
To me it is strange that a programmer phrased such a message as the described situation really asks for a possibility to change the path...
Thanks alot for your responses!

Glad you got it working and hopefully they'll add something to the NAS backup help file to recommend using a static IP. (adding this would be a lot easier for them than trying to modify their program although what you said makes sense)
