Problem description
inSync backup fails with the below error on the inSync Client.
inSync cannot backup server. Please contact administrator.
Cause
Backup fails from a devise if the inSync Client is configured on a server. Since inSync Client is designed to back up endpoints, such as workstations, desktops, and mobile devices, a backup from a device configured as a server will fail.
