You can back up over the network? That is awesome. I assume you can do scheduled backups as well.

This will be very nice. Looking forward to that functionality.

Cant you do that now in windows XP? There is a backup wizard somewhere, I forget. I've never used it as all my files are stored on my 2nd storage hard drive.

I don't really know lol. I was never aware of a network backup option though, one that did not require a lot of extra rejiggering.

Are you sure that there's a backup wizard? I'd like to hear more about that one for XP. (feels stupid)

If you have a network drive mapped in 2000 up, can't you backup to that drive? I have been doing that for a while now and don't see where the issue comes in?

Thanks Harbaugh, really didnt know about that one, but will put this new knowledge to good use, cheers.

I just opened it for the first time. I guess it is in there. I did not get too into it to see what it could do, but I will definately be using this to back some stuff up now.

same here, this might turn out to be a very handy feature that I can see myself using often in the future
