Back up entire computer

Hello,
I want to back up the entire computure using the built in back up tools in
Vista Ultimate. When it looks for hard drives it does not see all the
drives. I want to back up to a NAS device. How do I get the backup tool to
recognize this drive?
TIA
Don

I don't think that will work because if you need to do a full hard drive
reload how are you going to see a network attached drive when you need to
boot from the Vista DVD to do the restore. It will see attached USB drives
though for the restore.
