I'm trying to use Vista Ultimate's 'full system backup' to backup to an
external disk attached to another Vista system. I can see the external disk
and contents just fine (shared out for full for everyone) but when I run the
'full' backup it doesn't give me a choice of any networked drives. I tried
mapping the drive and it doesn't see that either. Not sure if this is the
right group so I'll also try posting this in 'networking sharing'; thanks!

Hi Larry,

A full computer or Complete PC Backup can only be made on an external hard
disk attached to the computer you are backing up, a hard disk on the
computer you are backing up, or DVDs. A full data backup can be made to a
network location.
