Hi, @metro1234

Default options are used for mounting of your OUTPUT_URL, which is fully ok, as you did not explicitly specify them.

Try to add something like:

OUTPUT_OPTIONS="username=testuser,domain=rear,vers=2.0"

or if OUTPUT_OPTIONS should be same as BACKUP_OPTIONS add following line AFTER line with BACKUP_OPTIONS

OUTPUT_OPTIONS="$BACKUP_OPTIONS"
