Restoring from a network share
I am having a heck of a time restoring from a network share. I have just moved to a laptop as my primary desktop. I don't have an external drive hooked up but I do have another box running Windows 7 that I'm using for a media server which has two large hard drives running in RAID1 configuration.
I have added a folder on the media server, I've shared the folder using the Advanced sharing option giving EVERYONE full control of that folder. I can transfer files to the share from my PC, I can copy files from the share to my PC, and I can delete files on the share from my PC.
Now I start Acronis from my desktop and backup my PC to the share on my media server. All is fine, and the backup completed without any errors. I can open the backup of the media server and copy files.
Now I start a restore from the share on the media server. I go through the process and it tells me I need to reboot to complete the process. I reboot and I get an error: Operation has completed with errors.
I have attached a snapshot of the error. It looks like it looses connection to the backup after the reboot?
Is this a authentication problem and do I need to create a specific user with no password?

There is wireless support in the recovery medium created by the MVP Custom PE Builder if you absolutely must recover across a wireless connection. However, I've seen reports that no everyone has luck using this support. (I've tested it a few times and had no trouble, but I've never used it when I actually needed a recovery.)
That being said, using a wired connection is certainly more reliable and faster.
