Are you trying to do a full backup?  Vista doesn't support a full backup to a network share.  Windows 7 and above do.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup_and_Restore

 

There are other tools that you can use.  I use Acronis TrueImage on my Vista system (not the cloud backup version, the local backup one).

No, I´m not trying to do a full backup. I´m trying to do a backup of a folder in Windows Vista and i get the error message i posted.

 

Does anyone have any idea to help me?

 

Thanks and regards.

    I just want to make sure I understand the scenario first.

     

    Are you using drag/drop to copy the folder, the Windows Vista Backup and Restore Center, or the built-in ReadyNAS backup jobs?

      Hello,

       

      thanks a lot.

       

      I´m using built-in ReadyNAS backup jobs, not Windows Vista Backup and Restore Center

       

      Regards.

        Can you post the backup job settings you are using?

         

        Also, is the folder shared in Windows?  Are you trying to use a microsoft logon on the NAS or a local windows account?
