Win 7 Pro 64 bit Wont connect to network drive for incremental backup

Thread needs solution

The initial full backup works just fine but the incrementals always fail to connect to network drive. When I test connection the connection is OK, then when I tell it to backup it fails to connect. I'm sure this is a windows permission thing but online support tech has not been able to help me.

Is your drive a mapped network drive or is it a network share?

What version OS are you using? How is the drive connected to your network?

I don't understand your question regarding operation system version, is there more information besides win 7 pro 64 bit that I can give you?

The backup location is a network share- NAS.

Just needed to know what OS you are running as instructions may vary. Most NAS devices use SAMBA/SMB to communicate with Windows. I am attaching a link that explains how to set permissions so that authentication should not be required:
