I am in the process of working with a startup/shut down problem and I am trying to back up my computer data to another computer on my home network. I am not one to backup with any regularity, and in this case, not at all. I have two computers using Windows XP and connected by a wired LAN. I made an attempt to back up a few months ago, using the Windows provided backup, waited forever for the computer to create the file, then received an error message that the receiving machine could not receive the file being sent as it was too large for ?? I did not write the message down, damn! Now with a serious problem, I tried to back up again using the same program and selecting a folder called My Backups on the other machine. I got a message that I can not save to that location.
My problem machine is an eMachine with a 182 GB C: drive - 95.4 GB used. The target machine is a Systemax with a 232GB drive - 78.4 GB used. So it seems space is not a problem. The first message seemed to indicate a setting needed to be changed, but since I can't go far enough now to replicate the message, I am stuck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, JadeDragon
