Network location drive on synology NAS not recognized
I just installed Acronis 2016 with the latest update. Tried creating a complete PC backup. The interface does nto recognize a network drive.
1. The network location shows up in Windows Explorer under "Network".
2. It can be accessed using \\diskstation\homes... from the Explorer address bar
3. I also created a mapped drive Y:"\\diskstation\homes\backup\"
4. Credentials for accessing the synology-diskstation are also stored in Windows Credntials Manager.
I tried several times.
1. At least once, Acronis 'saw' the drive and asked for credentials. Test connection was successful. Even after that, nothing changes in the interface. "OK" button remains greyed out.
2. typing the full address "\\diskstation\homes\backup\my_pc_backup_folder" in "Backup to:" field does nothing at all.
Acronis provides no feedback as to where the process stalled, or what I could do differently. Nothing is hapening at all!

smacronis,
I have a Synology NAS and have experienced the same problems you are having. The link the Bobbo provided gives a detailed explanation...here's some additional hints:
The easiest way is to use regedit...The password and user name that ATI uses are located in the registry at the following location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Acronis\Connections\smb\YourNASNAME
You can do a "Find" on "YourNASNAME" and regedit will take you to the registry location.
You should exit ATI before running regedit, then navigate to the location and delete the password and username. Deleting the username and password will not impact other ATI tasks, as the username and password for the other tasks are stored in another file (script).
Reboot your computer, then call up ATI. Build a new task for the backup, and when you select the source, ATI should ask for credentials.
Personally, after I build a new task, I call up regedit and delete the username & password.
Regards,
