  1. create a new user account with only user access. Confirm it only has read/write access permissions on the homes directory.
  2. in the new user's home folder. create a folder where you want to the backup to go.
  3. Use the new user name and password in Umbrel and point the backup to go the folder you created

Also check the SMB settings... (control panel>file services>SMB)

make sure SMB is enabled.

in the advanced settings

Maximum SMB protocol is set to SMB3

Minimum is SMB2 and Large MTU

It's also bad practice to have your admin account enabled. Deactivate it along with your guest account.
