Recovery Boot Disk and NAS?

Thread needs solution

Relatively new with Acronis, so may be confused. When I boot into the recovery disk, my system doesn't reconnect with my Synology NAS with the backup files, so I have nothing to use to restore. I know I must be missing loading a driver or something, but can't find any options in the recovery environment to connect with my server; any assistance appreciated!

When using ATI with a network drive, use a UNC path to your NAS device for a backup destination, not a typical friendly "mapped" drive. e.g.
\\192.168.2.25\My Backups\

It should also be possible to use a UNC path that includes server name rather than IP, such as
\\server1\My Backups\

ATI will not automatically detect a NAS drive. Once you start typing the destination path, you will be prompted for a username and password. You must use enter the username and password that has permissions to access the NAS share you are saving to.

Many users have had issues with NAS, not because of Acronis but because the router gets overloaded with data throughput and cannot keep a consistent enough connection with the NAS for True Image to image or restore.
