Re: Why can't I backup to network drive?

What version of Windows Vista are you running?

Network Backup is only available in Windows Vista Home Premium,
Windows Vista Business, and Windows Vista Ultimate.

Take a look at wbadmin.exe, which is the command-line version of Complete PC
Backup. This will allow you to back up to a target network share.

Hi
I'm setting up my secondary PC (with Vista) to act as a backup server.

From my primary I've set up successfully to backup all files to a mapped
network drive.
However, when I try to do a full Computer Backup the network drive is not
listed as an option to back up on to. All I get is to back up to DVDs.

Anyone know why this is the case?
