ReadyNas Duo Frontview backup error with Windows 7 Pro (64)
I am trying to create a backup job in order to back up files from my remote windows 7 64-bit computer. Using the "Test connection" in Frontview>Backup>Add a new backup job I get the following message...

As Clumpco above says, setting up the shares is more complicated than in previous Windows (in order to make it simpler!!)
This Wiki article - http://www.networkedmediatank.com/wiki/ ... p/Windows7 - details some further steps.
However, there is another problem. For it to work at all you have to remove the Windows component Windows Live ID Sign-In Assistant.
Stopping and disabling the service is not enough, you have to remove the entire programme. It requires a reboot, although I found that Backup worked even before I had.
If you have this component on your system the backup appears to complete successfully but the log will show this:
session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0
Files copied: 0
Goggle that error message with the strings Ubuntu and "Windows 7" for more info.

Good info Ian... However in 32 bit Win7 I didn't need to go as far as your link suggested (which really leaves your system quite wide open), nor did I have to remove Live ID Sign-In Assistant, probably because I refused everything when I installed Messenger.
I think that the key to getting sharing to work for access from the NAS is this setting:
