Vista Backup
Greetings,
I have 2 computers on a network at home. I am trying to backup files to the other computer on the network. The Vista backup wizard allows me to select the drive and even the folder on the other computer. However, when I click NEXT I am prompted for a name and password to access the drive. I used the one I have created for the other computer but I get the message.... "The network could not be accessed for the following reasons. The name provided is not a properly formed account name. (0x80070523). Please ensure that the network location is valid." WJD
