Vista Backup & Restore

My equipment:
Laptop connected wireless to a router.
Desktop connected to same router with Ethernet cable.
Seagate external HDD, connected to the desktop with a USB 2 connection.

I'm trying to use Vista Backup & Restore to backup the laptop to the
external HDD.
When I try to set it up, the program finds the disk alright. But then it
asks for a user & password. What user & password? I tried with all the PW's
and users I have on the two computers, but nothing works. I can't get by
this so I'm stuck here, please help!

Roger

PS. On the desktop it runs just great.

Is the app not asking you to create a new password
for this backup alone ?

Beware multiposting.
