| | Backup & Restore won't backup to shared drive When backing up using OneCare to a shared drive on an XP Media Center Edition PC (Or even using the Windows Easy Transfer), it works without issues. When I back up to the same XP Media Center Edition PC using the Vista Backup & Restore (Which is what I'd prefer mainly because of Shadowcopy) The first time I try to do the backup, first it asks for a username and password. Niether this PC, or the one I'm backing up to have passwords set up but it won't let me continue without a password. I set up a password on both machines as a test, and tried it without them It always goes to the next step. It scans the files for backup, and then right after it gets to the point where it should be transfering files, it tells me the location cannot be found. All it puts in the folder is a file called MediaID.bin If I click the "try again" option it skips the scanning portion, goes right into the backup and then pops up with an "Access is denied" option. If I delete the MediaID.bin file, it scans again, and then brings up the location cannot be found error. I've tried multiple folders on this machine, each time OneCare backup works, but Vista Backup doesn't. Also, I tried the instructions on this page http://www.jimmah.com/vista/net/ntlm.aspx which was listed in another thread with similar issues, but it didn't seem to work. Is this a known issue? Is there a way around it? Any suggestions? |
