I am trying to create a backup plan using the TFS Power Tools but I keep running into this error message: TFS Backup Error

I have checked that the account has Full Control on the share, I can edit, create and delete files there. From the log:

[Info   @07:15:00.403] Starting creating backup test validation

Any ideas?
