Yes it is possible.  Just map a network drive, then run backup Win7.  It appears as a disk.

    I want to back up files on my hard drive of diving, how do you do that?

    You can use a hard drive, but it is not the drive on which the system or the boot is running.  If you have a second drive in your system that contains system information or startup, you can use this disk for backups.  The wizard backs up (Start / Control Panel / backup and restore) will guide you through the process and provide you with the options you can choose to send the information - which should include this disc hard if it meets the requirements more fully covered in the following article.

    Here's a FAQ on the backup and restore that can be useful to some of your questions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions.

However, I can browse to and open them. When I look in the windows explorer for this user, I do not see the folders and files passed letter 'F' But if I know the name of a file or folder that is there and manually type the name in the address bar, I can browse on him. For example, there is a folder named IBM. I see not the folder in windows explore. But if I type in the address bar (\\servername\username\IBM), I can see the contents of the file. If the files are there, but we cannot see them. So far only this user is having this problem isn't a question broad system.

    I activated the hidden file parameter and it is set to show the hidden files and folders. The server is a windows 2003 SP2 Enterprise

    Thanks for your help

    In the Explorer of-> tools-> view (tab), Folder Options->

    In addition to checking "Show the hidden files and folders", try unchecking the "Hide protected operating system files" two lines down.  It will ask if you are sure you want to do this - simply replies 'yes '.

    If it turns out that the system attribute has been applied to the file, you will not be able to change it in the Properties window.  You will need to use the "Attrib" command  See the following procedure article:

  • "Last back up was cancelled because he couldn't finish" when you back up files to external hard drive.

    Original title: backup of the files to the external drive process

    I'm supposedly backup files for the first time on my drive external expansion. What is curious to me, is that whenever I try to backup my files, I did so more than once in the last days, I get a message that the last backup was cancelled because it couldn't finish. I checked the properties of the expansion drive and the disc itself has increased a large amount, so I know that there is something out there. But when I look at the contents of the disc, the only thing that indicates that there is nothing there's a folder name of the computer. I have files on the drive I installed manually. When I switch my pointer on the folder (name of my computer), it says that the folder is empty? Then when I open it there is a sub-folder called set back again several subfolders marked save the file with a date and a number. All these files are empty?

    I thought when I backed up the files on my drive external, that they would be there on the screen and freely accessible, like the ones I put on manually? Would someone mind explaining the process to me... in layman's terms?

  • Store the RAW files on a network drive. It work?

    So I have a problem with my wife :-). We working with photos and currently have all the photos and the LR library on a single computer.

    The database and the vignette prevs are on an SSD drive in order to speed abd that RAW files are the classic storage. The problem is that we defend whose turn it is to use the desktop computer. So I thought to share the same RAW, DON'T SHARE THE SAME LIBRARY photos.

    1. my idea is to have two computers with SSDS and first double the library so that we start with the same set of parameters and photos.

    2. then I install the disk with RAW photos on a network drive: a small server, a router with connectivity HDD etc and point both libraries at the same place

    3. then I'll work on my wife library and mi on hers. Libraries will change gradually from their content, but RAW photos will remain on the network drive.

    QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE:

    1 is current wifi technology fast enough to deal with this type of use? SATA drives are faster than wifi, I guess, but I notice a big difference assuming the thumbnails (previews) are stored and generated on the local machines?

    2. can anyone suggest what equipment to choose in order to have a disorder of the system operation without?

    3. is there a way to protect RAW to be moved to a different location or renamed files? For example, my wife creates a folder and import photos there names and he "birthdya of my children." I know that she often made mistakes in order to my computer, I will import the folder to my library (to have access to the same set of photos) and change the name of the "birthday of my children." This will rename a folder existing physically on the HARD drive so my wife can no longer access it once the name of the folder has changed. Any ideas to avoid this kind of problems?

    4. is there a feature that allows LR watch certain folders for new folders\files automatically so that when my wife imports a new photo session, it will automatically appear in my library as well?

    In general, I would like some feedback from experts if my ideal is OK or not. Or perhaps there is another solution to my problem? Cloud Internet storage is out of the question because my internet is not that fast (I live in a forest area and not rely only on the wireless internet, cable or fiber optics).

    Answers

    1. It depends on your wifi connection, I think. Certainly some wifi will be fast enough. I think that the only way to know is to try it.
    2. I'm sorry, I can't
    3. In your operating system, you can lock the files (make it read-only), but of course this can always be overridden. The best approach, in my opinion, agrees that once you give a name, the rule is that you cannot rename it. And beyond, even better would be to use keywords, captions and other metadata structures to organize instead of the folder names, in which case rename in your catalog is not a problem. (Of course, there many other benefits to using Lightroom structures to organize instead of organization record)
    4. Yes, you can set up a "spy case" in Lightroom so that it will automatically import new photos in this folder.

  • Help! Empty file after opening .psd to network drive

    I am a technician in a school district and in one of the classrooms, we have Photoshop installed on a Windows 7 SP1 machine CS5.1. Students have their own network for them drive folder to save files.

    They are currently working with the paths of work and have several layers when they record their PS project.  When they go to open it to the top, they get an empty white layer that seems locked. We go to the part of paths and it shows in fact that they worked. How do they get to open upwards where the layers are still there? The layers box was checked when they saved and it was recorded as a .psd file.

    Any help would be appreciated.  They saved locally on the computer and I don't want to know pretty soon if she registered properly for them.

    He is discouraged by Adobe to open/save directly via a network.  I don't know the fact that register directly on the network is involved in what is wrong here, but you have the students of can save their work on the local drive, and then copy the file to the network drive?

    Out of curiosity, they use a mapped drive letter or a UNC path?

  • Try to install a program Adobe of CC (CC is on a network drive)

    So I will try to explain the best I can.  Under the terms of our license to Adobe, we have enough to cover all the computers in our facilities.  When recreate us the image on computers it installs the Adobe Basic programs that we need, but some members of the staff are in need of other ones we have access to but we install on a need.

    And that's where the problem arises.  Most of the time, we install programs from the desktop remotely, rather than going from office to office for convenience, but if we are in the office or on the remote desktop we noticed that programs will not install.  We have the creative cloud install files on a network drive that we use for all our other install Adobe programs, but it seems that those creative cloud just will not install.

    To be more precise now we tried to install InCopy and start the installation program, then he would invite, he's going to need an update which should restart the system which we continued with, but then the progress bar fill up completely and then the dialog box disappears and nothing else would happen, or the progress bar would go back down and then the dialog should disappear.  I do not usually install Adobe products, but a colleague of mine who works with this problem says it is across the Board when it comes to install anything in the folder of creative cloud.

    They say that it might have to do something with an update for Adobe is not only the plant or one within the Windows system; Although I don't think that this is the case since we are trying to install on different Windows OS computers (Windows 8, Windows 7 32/64 bit 64-bit Windows 8.1 64bits).

    So I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the subject, or if someone had patches.

    Hi Jonathan,.

    You must user Adobe creative cloud Manager package that creates an installation package and deployed to the computers of the users. I guess, you install Adobe creative cloud application of office from a network drive that is not recommended.

  • Windows 10 - Thunderbird isn't always finding network drives when saving attachments

    Intermittent failure.
    This happens especially if I start Thunderbird without first looking at a network in file Explorer - but not always drive. If the drives are not displayed. He does not even recognize the readers if I get one physically (say E:\ for my NAS box) or click on a shortcut to the reader and tells me that the disc is not available and I should check all physical connections. If I abandon the Thunderbird and use the drrives File Explorer are all there. Ebb in Thunderbird usually find all the readers, so I can save the attachments. Worked fine in W7 is a Thunderbird/W10 issue.

    sets the space to the left producing a Horiz scroll bar

    Network and Thunderbird readers have a very eventful history. There are still open around bug to save files in the network drives.

    That being said
    I don't think it sounds like Thunderbird. Looks like widows not opening the connections until after they requested. I would guess that repeated in Thunderbird attempts could also encourage the loading of the network drive.
