Win 7 can no longer back up to NAS, but Explorer can read/write files
I have a NAS which for some reason periodically goes off line in Win 7. I have it mapped as drive Z:, but periodically it won't connect on boot. Resetting the NAS usually solves this, but the last time I did it, Windows couldn't even see it on the network for three days. It finally showed up, and I remapped it.
Windows Explorer can see the NAS drives and read and write to them fine. I use the NAS and Windows Backup to back up data files. Since I had to reset the NAS and remap it, Backup said I had to re setup the backup location. Trying to set it up gives me an error message:
When I try to set the permissions to full, I get the following message:
Backup previously worked as drive Z: and I was able to set the permissions to full without issue. I find this odd because Windows Explorer can read and write files from Drive Z: as well as the backup folders, but Windows Backup will not work, and Windows Explorer Properties/Security will not allow me to change the permissions to anything but "Special Permissions" (That's how it's set right now).
Thoughts?
