User password required when backing up to network folder
I have a home LAN with two Vista-computers. When trying to backup the
newest computer to a Buslink drive on the other computer, I am blocked because a user name and password is not provided for access to the folder. The machine having the external drive is running Vista Home Premium 64 bit. The newer one is running the 32 bit version. I tried to set sharing permissions to full control, and even make the folder co-owned by everyone. Still no luck. Password protection is turned off for files and folders on both computers. All other sharing activities work without passwords. Why won't this work for backup? Thanks in advance for your help.

User password required when backing up to network folder
Hello Lu Powell,
The Vista Backup application requires a username and password when targetting network shares for backing up.
