Some other users have reported problems that turned out to be Samba bugs. In
terms of troubleshooting you could try to use a subfolder under the share
and see if that works. If it doesn't, sometimes a firmware update is what is
needed to have this device behave as expected. The more recent Samba
versions (3.0.2.x) are more stable.

This is indeed a reason why backing up to mapped drives isn't supported
with Windows Vista.

According to Microsoft, to use a NAS device as a backup target, you
need to create the share with "Full Control" privileges for the user
whose
credentials they want to connect with.

The account in question is adminstrator on the NAS. Why would that not
work?

If it matters, I didn't use a mapped drive letter. I used UNC,
\\NAS1\BACKUP.
