Windows Server 2012 Recover WindowsImage from NAS Share folder

John V 0

Just backup some specific files from my win 2012 server stored in NAS share folder but cannot seem to recover it using also Remote Shared Folder setting. "The Backup location specified does not contain any backup ". Tried to change permission to full control from parent folder to sub, still doesn't work. Any idea why this happen?

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

I believe you need to share the folder above the WindowsImageBackup in order for it to work properly. You can either move the WindowsImageBackup folder or share the 'ServerName' folder so the path should be:

\Share-PCNAME\SERVERNAME\WindowsImageBackup

You'll need to actually right click on the SERVERNAME folder and click Share.

Already tried it but it didn't work. I try to create another share folder on a PC, the same setup (backup through remote share folder and recover trough remote share folder) and it works. Maybe there is something in the NAS Synology that the recovery through remote share folder from the windows server cannot see the WindowsImage.

Already tried it still doesn't work, it could be something in the Synology NAS why the window server recovery through remote cannot see the backup image. This setup works on a simple computer but not on NAS i don't know why, but at least i found a different solution the, only problem is i need to copy the backup image form the NAS and transfer it to a computer which will take time beacuse of its large size.
