Random fails to open backup destination

Thread needs solution

Acronis version 6514, Windows 8 64 bit, backup to QNAP NAS on 1GB lan

I'm seeing random issues where the backup destination can not be opened and the backup fails (also any attempt to validate reports a corruption).

I am able to navigate to the backup location on the NAS and open/copy etc from the tib files.

What seems to be happening is if acronis sees the backup location unavailable (which maybe temporarily true) then the unavailability 'sticks' even after a reboot or the NAS becomes available again.

The TEMPORARY fix for this is to open the backup settings, browse to the original location, validate connection settings again and save - without changing anything.

The backup and validation then seem to work again.

I consider this a bug.

As this is already being discussed with you in another thread, I fail to see the benefit of opening this new thread.

Actually it seems to be a totally different issue. This problem has nothing to do with routers or the nas device itself and to avoid confusion I considered it cleaner to start an independent thread.
