How to restore networked backup when my credentials are changed?
Hello.
Actually, I'm using Windows 7. But, since I guess it should be almost identical in Windows Vista and I can't find a microsoft.plublic.windows.7.general, I'm posting this here, sorry. I use a network drive to backup my date with Windows Backup (the one built in Windows). My company forces me to change my network password periodically, and I recently changed my password. And then Windows Backup asked me to "re-enter" my network credentials. As long as it said, I have to setup the backup again with the new credentials even though I'm going to use the same network drive location. Anyways, I followed it but all my previous backups seemed to be gone! The Previous Versions lists were empty! Yeah, and I entered the same backup network drive location. What was wrong? Do I have to lose my Previous Versions every time I change my network password? If so, this is ridiculous and I'm not going to use Windows Backup. If I did something wrong, please let me know. |
