Windows 8 Image Backup & NV+ Firmware 4.1.12
Hi, I have recently upgraded a Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) computer to Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) and quickly realised there was a problem with Windows 8 image backups failing with error; "The version ...
it seems windows8 can't back system image to NAS by Samba,
if your NAS support iSCSI, you can backup windows 8 'image to iSCSI target on NAS, I tried, it is OK.
The below is some information I searched.

Well, I have to say on Windows 8 it only works for a normal backup and NOT the system image backup.
I think people need to start writing Microsoft and asking for this feature to be installed again on Windows 8 for NAS backups.

There are two different things going on here:
For Win 7 and win 8 when u get the error that applies to a specific file or parse point not being backed up it usually means some file is in quarntine by a virus program and therefore can not be read. There are various possible solutions most center around deleting everything from quarantine. Before you do the back up.
For Win 8 only: The Win 7 back up program included with win 8 does not support backing up a image file to any kind of NAS device (UNIX, Linux) . Internally the program gives an error that the NAS device has an incompatible sector mapping type. You can backup to a hard drive that is attached to a different windows machine and then back up that file to your NAS. Convoluted, but it works. Should MS fix this? Probably yes but their current philosophy seems to be that people should be using win 8 backup (Files within Libraries only) I hate the whole concept of Libraries, (and Play Lists) They make no G D sense to me. But that's just me.
Another solution is a 3rd party system backup (which thankfully I have and it came with the NAS from Western Digital).
