Bug Description
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
ISSUE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I successfully backed my entire machine (/) up to an external NAS drive (Western Digital 500GB MyBook). However, when I came to test the restore I keep getting the same message: "Restore Failed: Connection failed, please check your password: Failed to mount Windows Share". This seems strange since I was able to write the backup to the NAS drive. I backed up over wifi and I am trying to restore via wifi.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
STEPS
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In the settings of Deja Dup, in the 'Storage' section, I have the following:
Backup location: Windows Share
Server: <my_server_
Folder: <my_backup_folder>
Username: <my_username>
Domain: WORKGROUP
I have triple checked these entries for schoolboy errors like typos and all is correct. One thing I did note is that I am not asked for the password to accompany the username.
So, I select the 'Restore' option from the 'Overview' section and a small 'Restore' dialog appears. The details here are exactly as I entered them. I also make sure at this point that the NAS share is *not* mounted. I then click 'Forward'. At this point the share is mounted - I can see it in the file explorer - it also correctly identifies the one and only backup made in the 'Date' drop down list box. I click 'Forward' again. In the 'Restore to where?' section I leave all at the defaults ('Restore to original file locations') and click 'Forward'. The 'Summary' screen shows. I then click 'Restore'. At this point I get a 'Preparing' progress bar. Expanding the details section shows nothing. My screen then goes black an I am asked to enter my administrator password ince Deja Dup will be modifying my system. I do this and then I get the error as mentioned: "Restore Failed: Connection failed, please check your password: Failed to mount Windows Share" - the share is already mounted at this point though so I am totally confused. I have tried specifying the NAS by network name and IP and manually mounting it and it results in the same error message each time. I was expecting it to restore the backup I just took. I will admit that the wording of the error message would indicate an error on my part but since the NAS share is mounted at the point I indicated earlier it seems somewhat misleading.
