- Backup across a network can't find all files
- Posted by Buster on October 10th, 2005
I want to use the Windows Backup facility to backup files from another
computer on the network. The problem I have is that I can "see" some files
but not all. If I run windows explorer, I can see and open all of the files
I want to back-up so they appear to be shared properly.
I run XP SP2 on both machines.
Any ideas please would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Buster

Please provide more details:
- What exactly do you mean when you say that you can "see some
files but not all"?
- Are you running ntbackup.exe directly or as a scheduled task?

Thanks for your response.
When I try to find files for backup that's where the problem is. Some files
on the network computer it can see and others it can't. This is before
running the program. The program can find any file on the actual computer
that I'm running it from.
Windows explorer can see all the files no problem.
This problem exists when run directly or as a scheduled task.
