full backup on a network drive

Having problems by performing a full backup using my network ethernet WD MybookLive drive. I have successfully done a backup of files, but if I try a complete backup network drive doesn't appear in the menu "on a hard drive' option drop-down list. How can I solve this problem?
I am running Vista Business.

Thanks for your quick reply, but he has NOT answered my question. A full backup (that will save an image of the hard drive, including the operating system and registry entries) is not an option in the WD backup software.
I was able to accomplish my task using wbadmin.exe. Found a thread very useful here:

http://maximumpcguides.com/Windows-Vista/schedule-a-complete-PC-Backup/

It is easier than that, it is basically a two-step process:
(1) go to start-accessories and right click on "command prompt" by selecting "run as administrator
"
(2) type the following command (changing only the path to your shared drive): WBADMIN START BACKUP - backupTarget: f:-include: c: - allCritical - vssFull-quiet

Wait a few hours and you're done. You can see the progress of the backup in terms of percentage.

  • I want to use a flash drive for backup, BUT I want a full backup of the entire drive.

    I had once an external drive for backup.  It was supposed to be a backup that would replace everything and put it back where it was.  I cheated because when I got to use it I found that it would reinstall was certain documents and photos.  None of my downloads and all the update programs has been lost. I wanted a mirror image!

    Now, I think a full image on a flash drive would be the way to go, but I don't know what software to use.

    I need help from someone who has this software and a USB flash drive.  Thank you

    Hello

    1/10 1.5 TB = 150 GB - buy a 150 GB flash drive (if you could find it on the market today) could cost you an arm and a leg. Buy a 1 to external portable HARD drive can cost you a little more $ 100.

    I hope this helps.

  • Vista Home Premium cannot perform backup on the network drive

    Fairly well described in the title... asks for a password. no password required on each pc. Seems to be a known problem based on the messages I've seen. Is there a fix. ???

    Thanks for posting on this Forum.

    What applications do you use to make your backup?  You use the Configuration and status of the backup program that comes with Windows Vista or the backup center and restoration?

    Is it a home network?  If so, all computers have the same name of "workgroup"?  As you may know, the same name of user and password must be on all systems that are part of a working group.  You are able to "navigate" to this network drive?

    If the network drive (part) belongs to a Windows domain, make sure that you have the appropriate rights to write to this drive (Share) network. Ken

  • Backup on a network drive with Ultimate

    I recently installed a NAS drive in my home network and I want to keep my backups here.
    I used to date the backup/restore utility of Vista Ultimate with a USB HDD, however, it seems that this utility can store on a local disk.
    Is it possible (and if so, how) to backup on a storage area network with this build-in tool - that has worked well for me so far?

    Thanks for your replies.

    No, although it seems logical that you can do, your "PC Backup" does not save to a network drive, since you are going from a boot CD.

    If you choose not to make a "Backup Files", you should see Net readers. Is - that answeer your question? Mark L. Ferguson MS - MVP

  • BMR in WINRE will not restore the backup to the network drive.

    We are currently in the testing phase of DPM 2007 deployment for Windows Server 2008 backup.

    DPM backup on Windows Storage Server 2008 correctly on the network attached to the DPM server drive.

    The Windows Storage Server 2008 I shot the current hard drive that was working properly (500GB) the computer and replaced by a 1 to.

    I started the machine with WSS2008 drive, in the CMD prompt, I enter the following command:

    1) x:\ > start /w wpeinit
    2) x:\ > wbadmin get versions - backuptarget: \\SANDSHREW\serverbackup$
    3) x:\ > wbadmin start sysrecovery-version:11/03/2012-18:04 - backuptarget: \\SANDSHREW\ServerBackup$ - recreatedisks

    I should mention that when I run 2 and 3 he asks me the login for the server sandshrew.

    The error I get on 3 is:

  • We get an error "insufficient memory", then the attempt to backup to network drive

    * Original title: Win7 backup and restore memory leak crashes while the backup on the network drive

    I've been back two computers on a netwrk player for almost a year using Win7 backup and restore

    A few months ago a computer started to lock up. This only happens during a backup.

    I deleted all the backups and tried again and found the same problem. The RAM continues to go upward in the 90% until the computer crashes and sends a low-memory error message.

    I have a disc of 2 TB network hard. 700 GB free.

    My backups are image system of 250 GB and 150 GB user folder. Whenever I try to backup of that memory increases just until it runs out.

    Is this related to a recent update from Windows 7?

    Help, please. I'm 3 months without a backup on this computer.

    FIXED MEMORY LEAK!

    After weeks of surveillance of the display of memory resources and looking for other forums I found the culprit.

    McAfee AnitVirus software Once I uninstalled the program, everything worked. The computer works much faster, SVCHOST.exe, explorer.exe, sidebar etc use much much less memory.

    Of course, this software has a problem with the copy of the files on a disk network hard. I couldn't copy 50Gbyte overall to the network but now Win7 back/restore drive, does this very easiliy and timely backup of my files users 50Gbyte more image system 256GByte with ease and allow the use of RAM. Use of RAM total now stands at 40% throughout the process.

    This also explains why my other computers never had a problem because they'll TrendMicro. I have a license for 2 packs of McAfee, but was always suspicious with each other due to problems of continuous with the help of McAfee over the years. This last problem led me to the conclusion not to use.

  • Move catalog to network drive.

    I need some good advice for a catalog of 13 k + photos I am trying to clean up. I use Elements 7, I bought 11 elements and plans to install soon. Part of my photos are physically located on my hard drive, and are on a network mapped as J: drive.  Elements are found these pictures j: but I don't think that the catalog of items is aware that J: is a removable network drive. It seems to them everytime I open elements, making the program very slow to start. Should I use the "passage to a removable drive" to move these photos? How the elements will handle these pictures were sent to a removable drive? I will be always able to view thumbnails of photos and search through my tags for them? If I copy my photos to a new disk, but still call this drive J: elements will be able to find them? And finally, if I perform this task 'move to removable disk', do I do now with Elements 7 or 11 elements first day? Help, please. Joanne

    If the Organizer is slow to start and seems to be looking, you need to check two things:

    -that you do not have to pay for the service "watched folders" to look at the network drive (file / looked at the menu of folders)

    -in preferences, files, you don't have checked search automatic and reconnection.

    If you can access your files on the network from the Organizer drive and see the thumbnails, no need to worry. You can move the files to your internal drive to and from the network, one by the file / move the menu or by dragging and dropping files in the folder. The organizer should not consider the network drive differently from an external USB drive: If such a unit is not physically connected, you will get "missing files". Displays only the thumbnails that are stored in the catalog. It is different from files on a CD/DVD: when they are not connected, you will get a warning of offline support.

    Only the catalog itself (the database) can be stored on a drive network; However, it can be stored on a USB external drive.

    If you want to upgrade to PSE11, be sure to perform a full backup to a second drive external (these USB keys are affordable today). Note that since this backup, you can restore the files not only on their location of origin, but also in a custom location, for example in the internal computer drive (even if the original files are scattered on several internal or external drives).

    If you install PSE11 on your current computer, you should be prompted to convert the existing catalogs to the new format of PSE11 without having all the files or folders to move or copy. This conversion does not change your current PSE7 catalog, which still works as before.

  • How to use the full Windows Vista Edition backup utility to create a backup of the computer of my computer on a network drive?

    I can read and write in my Win7 computer I'm currently configured to run any server at home, I can watch TV, store files and folders individual, to create, remove, in other words all I can do on this machine, I can do. 3. to disks are mapped to this machine and show as readers y and z.

    I had no problem establishing actions and everything seems to work.

    However, when I try to do a full backup of a computer with network drives they don't show in the drive selection drop-down list in the center of complete backup of Windows. Arises in each drive on this machine, not the target readers when they are listed in my computer and do show and reconnect when I reboot the machines.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
