Hi,
All I want to do is use the built in MS backup to back up a fresh install of Win7 to my network drive.
I have three computers all running Win7 Ultimate 64bit, my HTPC is the one with all the Harddrives and it is where I put all my backups etc. I have full read write access from all computers to the F: drive where I want to put the backup. All of the sharing center options are set to public folders avaliable to all with network access, and password protected sharing is off, also none of the computer require a password to log onto them, they have user names no passwords.
The router is secure enough, with passwords and IP limited etc as i dont want each computer to have a password.
The problem is then – Why cant i use MS backup, to back up this computer and save the backup over the network to my HTPC without credentials of some sort?
Thanks in advance
I didn’t say create a new user, I meant to say that a user with a password is needed.
NTbackup needs a windows type of setup. You can’t use nfs easily or at all that I know of. I doubt you could get ftp to work so you are kind of stuck with a windows share.
guess you could go to the MS site for ways to use ntbackup over a network. I’d still think that command net use would still need a password. Dunno, maybe you could create a webdave folder. It is a windows deal and might work.
I just use a user that has a password.
