no backup to second HD?

06-05-2008

Hello,

I keep getting an orange alert in my sys tray because of backup. I have two
separate hard drives in my computer. When I try to setup backup to go to
the second hard drive, it doesn't see it. It only gives me a thumb drive
and the cd writer as an option. Neither one of those is a viable
alternative. Why won't it let me backup to my second hard drive?
Thanks.

OneCare does not directly support backing up to internal drives.
You have two choices - disable backup and use another backup solution and the
warning will go away, or use a workaround that involves creating a network Share
on the second internal drive and then configure OneCare on this PC to be a Hub
for a OneCare Circle, then define your backup plan to be Centralized Backup
pointing to the Network Share you created.

More details on the workaround can be found here:
