Backup "to a network' grayed out for Windows Vista Home Basic Edition

Dear Forum:

Vista Home Basic SP - 2, Win XP Pro Service Pack 3 (signed on as "Administrator" on both machines)

I'm trying to back up data residing on Vista Home Basic machine on a shared drive on Win XP Pro machine on an ethernet network.  When I run backup and restore Vista HB machine, backup "to a network' option remains greyed out.

From now on, I can read and write in the public records of the Vista machine from the Win XP Pro machine and I can read and write to disk shared Win XP Pro machine from Vista HB machine.

I apologize if the question has been discussed previously.  I appreciate all help to address this issue.

I'm sorry, but Windows Vista Basic cannot save to a network location.  It can only back up to a local disk.

Backup to a network location requires a more advanced version of Windows Vista.
