Backup failed. Acronis claims it cannot access destination folder.
I have 2 scheduled back-ups both backing up to the same Synology NAS device on my home network.
Backup 1: Backs up files once a day as an Incremental backup & a full back-up after 6 Incremental back-ups.
Backup 1 Status: Good & working well
Backup 2: Backs up the whole system once a week as an incremental back up. After 5 incremental back-ups it does a full system back-up.
Backup 2 Status: It had been working well until a week ago. My NAS device had been shut down since I was expecting power failure due to a snowstorm. After re-starting the NAS device, Backup 1 is still working while Backup 2 has stopped working & I receive the following error msg:
The backup failed. Ensure that \\<NAS Device Name>\<Folder Name>\<Sub-Folder Name>\ is accessible. Test connection settings. Check for a solution.
When I "Test connection settings" the connection results are good (i.e. Connected). I can view the destination folder on the NAS. However, I keep on getting this error message.
Any ideas how to fix this? (One option might be to start fresh with a completely new backup & back up the System to a new Sub-Folder. I know this will work but I will lose previous versions of the backup.)
