Windows 7 backup network restore: "The network location cannot be reached, 0x800704CF"
- by Znarkus
When I try to restore from a backup image, I get this error.
After I enter the network address (\\10.0.0.1\backup or \\z\backup), the wizard presents me with the network login dialog, which leads me to believe that it can connect to the network (yes, the share is password protected).
I decided to install Windows 7, since I thought that I could restore the image from Windows. The restore process in Windows can locate the backups, but to do an image restore it needs to reboot to the wizard above. Which of course gives the very same error.
This is what \\z\backup looks like.
Please help, I'm getting desperate.
Update: Forgot to mention that the NAS is running Ubuntu, if that's relevant.
