Share a folder for the backup of the server

I have a Dell Windows 2008 R2 server. Everything works great and we have only 1 program that we share within the office. Initially, the software company set up a batch file using robocopy to back up files on a removable drive. The drive is now small to fit the backup.

I have a computer on the network that has an external 1 TB drive connected to it for work that is stored specifically for this computer.
Is there an easy way, can I share a folder on the external drive of this computer and redirect the command of this hard drive backup file?
Any help appreciated
Thank you

You didn't say what o/s runs on the PC with the drive (or if it's in an AD environment), but the principle must be the same. If you right click the folder and select sharing, you should have a section there for safety. Go into that and give "Everyone" permissions Total.

I hope this helps.

  • "C:\Users" folder is shared when you share a folder in the directory?

    So everyone seems familiar with this problem, but has anyone seen an answer yet?  I've been whinging about it since the launch of Vista, but I am yet to see a resolution that does not involve a work around.  I was surprised to start seven RC and find the same question he still had.

    I'll reiterate for those who want clarification (and warning)...

    If you share a folder in the C:\Users directory, the displayed share will be the folder C:\Users (through which you will need to browse to find the folder you shared ACTUALLY).

    Not only is this a major security design flaw, it represents also reflect seriously illogical on behalf of the Member States.

    Advanced use of sharing seems to overcome this deficiency (only the folder you share ACTUALLY appears) however I have noticed even apparently random times the C:\Users folder appears shared despite exclusively using the advanced sharing?

    In any case, I wanted to raise the issue again in the hope that somehow, somewhere, someone could provide information about the position of MS in this regard, and if there is no intention to solve.

    Hi Nancy,.

    Encryption of files and folders is a way to protect against unauthorized access. EFS (ENCRYPTING File System) is a Windows feature that you can use to store information on your hard disk in an encrypted format. Encryption is the best protection that Windows provides to help you keep your information secure.

    You can make a folder and then encrypt it.

  • Muse = how to set the default folder for the images?

    My Muse loves the office and still goes there first when I told him to place a new image... How can I set a different default folder for the placement of images?

    Seems like a basic funchion, but I can't find how the re - set.

    Well, I found this:

    First close MUSE, then you must uninstall Adobe AIR 3.8 and to install adobe AIR 3.7 and it will be automatically defined in your last working folder

    Here are the links for AIR 3.7 DL

  • Set a working folder for the database root $

    Customers need to set a working folder for the $ (root) of each project?

    We have created a database of RSC corresponding to every aid project and now have the following Windows folder and the database structure:

    (database) Path: $/ HelpProjectOne
    Local path: D:\Projects\HelpProjectOne

    (database) Path: $/ HelpProjectTwo
    Local path: D:\Projects\HelpProjectTwo

    (database) Path: $/ HelpProjectThree
    Local path: D:\Projects\HelpProjectThree

    My question is, when I open a database in the RSC Explorer, click on the ' $' at the top of the tree so that this option is selected, and then click file> Set working folder..., is it a good idea that the path field (database) is set to $ and the Local path field is empty?

    Or, I need to define the scope of Local path to D:\Projects or some other setting?

    In your configuration, you need to set the local path, for example, D:\Projects\.

    The contents of the folder to the datbase $- i.e. the folder HelpProjectOne - will be copied in the designated directory.

    1) go in your user library folder (~ / library). Hold down the option/alt key while accessing the menu Finder go.

    2) go to the calendar folder

    (3) delete all files that say "cache" (replace the your desktop in the case where you want to move them at least)

  • Download Web site to host FTP - folder on the server?

    I am trying to download my Web site on the FTP host.

    FTP server, username and password (to connect to the FTP server) seem to be good.

    The question appears to the next step (Upload to FTP host): URL of the Site and folder on the server

    The first error I get is "file X does not appear to point to site X."

    When I say "Fix", it highlights the URL of the Site in red.

    When I say 'Ignore' seems to download something, but the site still does not work.

    What should I exactly put to "folder on the server?

    I expect the upload to be much easier than this.

    I watched several videos on this and none address this problem.

    Hello Kathrin,

    It is well known that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed diagnosis. In order to be independent in all these things is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which we must fight encourage me in this opinion, especially because we are always looking for experts, we charge a 'jack of all trades '.

    To manage multiple Web sites or download my files, and sometimes for the reverse, for a necessary download from my server or use a "sync a whole site", I use FileZilla. It just seems easy for me to keep track of all transactions accurately and generate or easily reflect the desired tree structure.

    First and foremost, FileZilla has a function (translation of my German FileZilla), called 'compare the list of files. Here it is possible to use the time of size or change file as a criterion. There is also the possibility of 'hide identical files', while only those files that you want to redact remain visible.

    And even if it means that you need to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read information on how it works:

    http://FileZilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager

    Mac: Mac OS X (use: the additional download options)

    http://FileZilla-project.org/download.php

    Of course, you must also all data to MIME issues and access to reach your server, please contact your web hosting provider.

    In my filezilla, must be used as the server name, the name that you get from your provider (see screeshot)

    Sorry, but I had to remove the real names of the 'server' and 'Benutzer '.

    I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message "too big for the server" responses I've seen so far tell me absolutely nothing

    Well, the error message says it all.  "" too big for server".

    There is a limit imposed by your ISP/mail server, which you don't mention.

    Not only the servers have limits on the size, this is not necessarily the same for incoming and outgoing messages.

    If you say you use the e-mail program and the name of your e-mail server, maybe we can shed light on the more specific issue, but the problem is definitely with them and not Outlook Express.

    P.S. I'm not sure what you mean by 'signature'

    The hp1100su.dll is a part of the driver for the printer.

    What you could try is uninstalling and reinstalling the driver of printer using the version of HP.

    I believe that the following may be the printer:

  • Share a folder with the DC related to a user.

    We have added windows server 2012 for use as a domain controller in order to launch a new piece of software.

    So new, so confused.

    I have a user who shares a folder on his computer at certain times during the month.

    When it is connected to the domain, it cannot share it. She is a member of users.

    When I use my login to his workstation to log the area, I can share the folder. I expect as well because I am a member of administrators.

    How can I give permission for the user to share the folder in question on his machine without giving its full administrative privileges?
