WIM-based restore failure with error code 47

I keep receiving the following error when I try and restore my bootcamp partition from the Winclone file:

Restore Error
WIM-based restore failure with error code 47

I can’t seem to find what this means anywhere and of course trying to restore from the Winclone file wipes the drive. Does anyone know of any trouble shooting steps, and if there is a way to restore the data from the clone?

These types of issues are usually related to corrupt metadata on files. Switching to block-based in preferences usually resolves the issue.

I had tried that and it did not work. Ultimately I copied it to a local USB drive from my NAS which seemed to do the trick. I also found it would work if I was connected to the NAS with AFP.
