Backing up networked drive to DVD
I have a Dell tower running Vista and I have set up a home network with my
Toshiba Laptop and Compaq tower, both of which run XP. Why can't I use the backup facility on my Vista machine to backup the drives from my Toshiba and Compaq computers? -- Paul from central PA

Backing up networked drive to DVD
Vista backup works differently than XP and earlier. It is more image
based.. There are third party and freeware backup solutions that will write to your DVD drive (most of the DVD-writing software will do this). --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Sat, 1 Dec 2007 16:58:01 -0800, Paul wrote: I have a Dell tower running Vista and I have set up a home network with my Toshiba Laptop and Compaq tower, both of which run XP.

Backing up networked drive to DVD
Hi Jeffrey,
I'm not having a problem writing to my DVD drive. The problem is with selecting a source on my home network to backup from, not to. I would love to use the Vista backup utility to backup all three of my PCs on the DVD drive of my Vista machine, but can't figure out how to do that. Thanx anyway for the reply. -- Paul from central PA "Jeffrey Randow" wrote: Vista backup works differently than XP and earlier. It is more image based..

Backing up networked drive to DVD
You can't use the Vista one to do that...
That's why I was suggesting the DVD drive software that does this type of backup... --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Sun, 2 Dec 2007 10:56:00 -0800, Paul wrote: Hi Jeffrey, I'm not having a problem writing to my DVD drive.

Backing up networked drive to DVD
Thank you--I didn't quite understand that from your reply. I'm trying and
alternate backup method--the one that comes packaged in the McAfee stuff that's free from Comcast. I'll let you know how that works.
