Firewall -> Exceptions -> File and Printer Sharing must be enabled. Otherwise 

remote users will not be able to back up on the backup server.

When connecting to a backup server inside a domain, mind whether your domain or 

local account is saved on the backup server. If you used your local account to install the 

backup server, and then logged in Windows on the console computer using your domain 

account, enter the local user name along with  the  backup  server  name  (for  example, 

Server1\username). Otherwise the name will be identified as a domain one.
