I have an external HD (Ximeta) which is connected like a PC in the Network on
the Router (RJ45). This is very useful for backups etc. Windows sees this
Disk as any other external HD and i can move files without any problems. In
the past I made backups with Sync Toy from all Network PC's to the HD. It
worked perfectly. Now under Visa I would like to use the Sync Center. But the
program does not find (or looks for) the Network HD for setting up a
partnership. Can anybody help me?

What you asked is how to get Sync Center to sync with your NAS -- for that,
you navigate to the NAS, right click it, and choose "Always Available
Offline." Sync Center will now have an entry for that device and will sync
files with it, so you can access them via the UNC even if you're not on your
home network.

However, what you can't do in Vista is have a local location auto-synced to
that device. As a backup solution, I would suggest creating a share on that
device and directing Windows Backup to perform a File Backup to it.
CompletePC backups must be to local storage (or, if you must go over the
network, via iSCSI, since that looks like a local disk).
