Hi - I am new to the forum. Trying to backup files from my Vista Laptop to -- Buffalo Link Station Pro NAS 2.0
I have a home nework Verizon Wireless using an ActionTech Router. The computers on the network are windows based with Vista as the operating system.
So far I have installed the Buffalo Link Station Pro NAS 2.0 on the network and the web Admin Interface on one vista laptop.
Using the Web Admin Interface, I attempted to create a backup job with the intention of backing up a folder from my vista laptop to the Buffalo Link Station Pro NAS 2.0. What i did was as follows:
?
1. In the Web Admin Interface, I click on the [System] tab
2. Then click on the [Backup] tab
3. Click [Modify Settings] in [Search for Backup Destination by Password]
4. I entered the [Password to Search] for the folder that is the backup destination.
5. Click [Create New Job]
6. For Job Name - I use "Test" ; For Backup Schedule - I selected "every week" ; For Backup Date - I selected "Sunday" and "01:00", For Backup Operation Mode - I selected "Normal Backup"
7. I Click [Add} in the [Backup Folders] menu
Now I am at the point where I have to select the the Source and Destination Folders.
For [Backup Source], I am only presented with the default share that came with Link Station Pro and the shares that I created.
I am NOT presented with a choice of folders that I want to backup from my C/ Drive to the NAS.
For [Backup Target], I do get a choice of the shares I created to which I want the backups to be stored.
My Question is, what do I need to do so my web interface identify my C drive and associated folders as the Backup Source instead of the shares on the NAS as the only backup source?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks ---- Susan
