For anyone else interested - I did a few tests today. On four different workstations I can backup to 3 different window's servers without any problems. But any of those 4 computers cannot backup to any 3 of our QNAP NAS units. Two units were joined to the domain, one was left solo - didn't matter. Windows 8 does not let you backup to a NAS network share.
Who's problem is this? Is this a SMB v3.0 bug, a windows bug, a firmware update required on the QNAPs? Where do we go from here?
Okay, ich denke es steht fest, dass eine Datensicherung mit Systemabbild auf einem NAS unter Win8 Prof nicht möglich ist. MS sollte das ändern!
Ich benutze One Bay Gigabit NAS 69940 mit der neusten Firmware an einem Router von Vodafone (EasyBox).
