TI2016 WInPE5 bootmedia how to backup to NAS network share

Thread needs solution

Hi,

using TI2016 WInPE5 bootmedia how to backup to NAS network share?

i cannot seem to be able to map network share from the command box or put network share path on the destination path when backup.

i know using Acronis Backup Advanced bootmedia, i can backup to network share.

Linux Bootmedia no problem.

WinPE bootmedia does not prompt me for password for the network share. i also cannot manually map from the command prompt using net use command

Linux bootmedia inside i see network under the list.

WinPE bootmedia don't seem to see network inside only have NAS connect via ftp

Hello Steven,

Thank you for your posting! Is the networtk share on your NAS accessible from Windows Explorer? Please also check the following article:  https://kb.acronis.com/content/23567

Thank you,

Steven,

You might want to create a MustangPE disk. This will allow you to add other programs to the disk, in particular the file manager that you can use to create a mapped network drive for a samba share

Try this:

Once booted to the True Image WinPE media, minimize the Acronis True Image window.

This will reveal a command prompt window.  Type the following command:

netcfg /v /winpe

This will install the TCP/IP, NetBIOS and Microsoft Client for Windows preinstallation environment which should enable networking on your computer thus giving access to your network.

command line should be 

netcfg -v -winpe

does not seem to work

 

using ip address also cannot.

 

now i use alternate file manager to map the drive and then go back to ATI to backup

 

Sorry for the syntax error in the netcfg command.

I take it you were able to complete your backup task by mapping your nas share as a drive letter,  I am curious, what file manager did you use to do that?

To anyone else viewing this thread, in my testing it appears that a WinPE recovery media disk which uses the latest ADK for WinPE is hobbled by the known network discovery bug that has plagued Win 10 versions 1511 up.  Reportedly this bug has a fix by Microsoft however that fix will not be available until the next major version release of Win 10 scheduled for release in March 2016.  Once that release occurs then a new WinPE release should also be available which hopefully will address this discovery issue.

Any news on this? I just downloaded the Win10 ADK and rebuilt the WinPE recovery medium under ATI 2017. The Acronis recovery tool still did not see SMB shares even though they were pingable by name

WinPE requires that you map the network drive as a letter first. You must use the command prompt behind the Acronis GUI in WinPE and mount the share using "net use" commands. Once this is done, Acronis can then see the share as the drive letter. This is a limitation of WinPE, not the Acronis PE media. It works though.

Example:

net use M: \\192.168.1.100 /user:USERNAME PASSWORD
