Backup to external hardrive Mapping Error

[Michael Knapp]

I am running Vista Home Premium and trying through "System Restore and
Backup" to create a PC backup to my external hard drive. This hard drive is
functional on my network and shows in my windows explorer. I have also
mapped it to my computer successfully. The hard drive does not require a
user name and password to access.

However when I try to choose this as the destination for my PC system backup
file I am asked to Enter a user name and password to access
\\Mybookworld\public\. logon with my username and password. I'm not sure
what it's asking for, because I am not aware of assigning such to this
external network hard drive.

I logon with my PC user name and password and that seems to work as it goes
to the next step stating..........testing backup location.

Then an error message appears indicating:
"No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. (Ox80070534).
Please ensure that the network location is valid."
I am stumped and need assistance. Please advise if you are aware of what my
problem is.
Thank you,
Michael

MIchael - do not quote me on this, however the file backup provided in
Premium version may not be "compatible" with a mapped drive.

AJR - I have the exact same problem that Michael describes. The backup
location is fully qualified "\\Example\Directory" not a mapped drive. I've
tried every ID\PWD combination I can come up with and continue to recieve the
message Michael recieves or sometimes it says it is an invalid password, but
I can't get past this step in setting up a backup.

Thanks for your help,
Jeff
