Tell me there's an easier way..
« on: September 01, 2011, 08:26:56 AM »

I just picked up the LinkStation Duo to do a simple backup of one computer (that hosts two important applications).

 

I'm not a systems or even computer person.  The last backup software I've been using is Time Machine for Mac - but this is a windows 7 computer I'm backing up.  

 

Could someone please give me the easiest, most streamlined way to do a nightly backup of this computer?  I've created a shared backup directory, and a schedule - but how I select the computer and it's C drive as the source is beyond me.  I've spent 3 hours so far trying to setup and I'm still lost.  

 

Should I just give up and find a more user friendly single computer backup system?  Is there more simplified software I could use with the Linkstation?

 

Thanks for anything!

Just use the novastor backup software that came on the CD with the linkstation!
PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.
