Windows Backup cannot read the backup destination, Error: 0x8078006F
Hi
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate connected to network with Server 2008 (R2).
I am trying to backup the System Image [only] to a share on the server without success:
[Window Title] Windows Backup: Troubleshooting Options
[Main Instruction] Check your backup
[Content] Windows Backup cannot read the backup destination.
[Try to run backup again] [Change backup settings]
[Expanded Information]
Backup time: 8/05/2016 6:20 PM
Backup location: \\Server2008\backup\
Error code: 0x8078006F
The backup location is a valid share on the server and is accessible (and read/writeable) from my Win7 machine. Both SYSTEM and Administrators have "Full control". When setting up the backup, the location is tested and a username and password requested - these are accepted (and wrong ones are not, so some sort of check is being carried out), however when I attempt to run the backup (either manually or on schedule) the backup runs briefly (a few %) then fails with the message "Windows backup did not complete successfully" then the message box as above. No files are created at the backup location.
A search of the web finds a lot of similar questions and a lot of wrong and useless answers. This has been an ongoing problem for some time, but I really would like to have a regular scheduled backup. Has anybody got any clues, please?
