Hello Jiahwei,
I use BackupPC primarily over WAN connections, so I don't use SMB. SMB
protocol is probably the easiest and best for local network connected
Windows PCs.
You might try using the built-in C$ share with 'administrator'
credentials. I think that's how many backup programs work.

Hi Alain,
Yup I read the documentation.
There is this sentence which confused me whether do I actually need to install
smb on the windows machine.
"BackupPC needs to know the smb share user name and password for a client machine
that uses smb."
What does it means by the smb share user name and password?
