Thanks for confirming the error also exists on the OS6 devices Evan. That suggests there isn't a version of SAMBA available which fixes the issue as I believe OS6 includes the latest version of SAMBA 4.
I was also getting the '0x807800C5' (There was a failure in preparing the backup image of one of the volumes in the backup set.) error intermittently before I upgraded my NAS to 4.1.12. Now I get 'The version does not support this version of the file format. (0xC03A0005).' every time.

I suppose the lack of image restore from Microsoft fits with the idea of using a Microsoft account to login to Windows instead of a set of local credentials so all your local configuration ports from machine to machine and "resetting" Windows more like a mobile OS. Definitely too consumer-centric!
