Description

### Describe the issue you are experiencing

same as in issue : https://github.com/home-assistant/supervisor/issues/6034

### Describe the issue you are experiencing

I'm sharing a folder from my Windows computer over the network for Home Assistant to put backup files in. Sometimes this computer goes offline (rebooting after installing a program or Windows Update). Then there's the 'Network storage device failed' notification in Home Assistant's settings menu by Home Assistant Supervisor. The problam is, when the connection repairs itself, there is no way to get rid of the notification(s). 'Remove' removes the network drive and 'Reload' fails and tells me to check the logs. In the logs I find the moment it lost connection but no new log entries from pressing the 'Reload' button or when the connection resumed again.

Research direction

Start with the related issue 6034 and the backup log location components/backup/manager.py:1173, then trace the network storage failure notification and its Reload action. Reproduce the host-offline and host-online sequence; done means the existing notification can be cleared or reloaded successfully after the storage host reconnects.
