Vista Backup & Restore NAS

I am running Vista Ultimate 64bit and am trying to use the Back and Restore
tool to back up contents on my computer to my NAS. When I try to set it up
the get the following error message, "The network share could not be accessed
for the following reason: Cannot create a file when that file already
exists." I try several times and I can see new folders being created but I
am always unsuccesful. I know the permissions are set correctly on the NAS
because I see the only created folders and I can delete them as well. Any
assistance would be greatly appricated. Thank you!

Hi Colin,

When you attempt to save a backup to a NAS device, Backup does the following
series of checks.If any of these checks fail, you won't be able to save your
backup there.

Also, on the NAS device, you need to create an account, which is not root
and allow it full access (meaning read, write and most important change
ACLs, sometimes called all access) on the share and on the files.

After you configure your NAS accordingly, do the following from an elevated
command prompt. If these tasks succeed, you should be able to save your
backup there.

- net use with the account against the share
- create a file on the share and put some small data in it
- the owner of the file should be user used in net use
- change the ACL of the file using cacls.exe
- delete the file
- create a directory on the share
- the owner of the file should be user used in net use
- change the ACL of the directory using cacls.exe
- delete the directory
