Problems with Backing up my Vista Machine

[Guest]

Help - grovel grovel

I have a network of several machines that I backup to a networked 300GB
external drive attached to a Windows XP home machine.

With the exception of the newly updated Vista machine (it has a dual boot
setup) I have no problem.

No matter what I do I get a 0x80070534 error when I try to set the back up
facility to connect with the network drive.

Can someone please help me rectify this so that I may back up this machine ?

0x80070534 is ERROR_NONE_MAPPED. The developer suspects you are providing an
account from the machine that is going to be backed up. You should provide
an account on the machine where the share is.

Also, which edition of Vista are you running? Take a look at our blog post
at http://blogs.technet.com/filecab/archive/2006/09/27/458871.aspx for more
information about backing up to network shares and Vista Home edition
limitations.

Jill,

Your developer is wrong in his suspiscion, however the answer was supplied
by yourself in the link :-

"A network share on a computer running Windows XP Home Edition is not
supported as a backup location because this edition does not support setting
permissions on the shares, nor does it support authenticating as a specific
account over the network. "

So I will use the alternate boot operating system for the backup,

Thanks for your help
