Denis, (@Try3), I am glad to read your observations about SMB1, and the latest Windows 10 updates (in the linked post you included). My sense is that the most recent posts (I think yours have been some) have most often confirmed that MS fixed the problem, but that a few people may be clinging to old "gloom and doom" information. I have not worried about it much with my router setup. As to the need to use SMB1, a couple of laptops we have here were managing without it, but one desktop machine networking would not work properly unless it was enabled.
I tried once more with a Paragon restore disk to get it to find my network, using the information they provided. I still cannot get it to work, so I am giving up on that. Paragon does have an easy way to back up and restore files, even select folders and individual files, from within Windows, so I may continue to use it for that; but I need a better solution for backing up the OS / C: drive. I've just downloaded Macrium Reflect, and am about to try that out.
However, I think maybe I have been beating a poor path by trying to back up my OS system directly to the NAS, even though Paragon seems to do it. It is just not easy to get access to the NAS from outside of Windows when it is time to restore. Maybe I should be backing up to an attached drive, and then I would copy a backup of that folder to the NAS. Or, if I can back it up to the NAS (more convenient with multiple computers), I could then copy it to a drive I would attach to a particular computer when I needed to restore the OS with a USB or CD startup.
