In the host blank P35DS3P is the computer name, but the IP could be used as well. I generally use the name for the computers, but eh IP addresses for the NASes on the network. The path does not include C: which is the root in Windows. That is not stated in Linux but understood. In my example Data is a first level directory. Lower level directories would be separated by a forward slash. An example could be: Data/Documents/Legal.
The above example was set up as a test, P35DS3P is my main desktop and primarily runs Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), however, it still has Vista Home Premium (32 bit) on another drive and I ran the test on it as well. The test connection was successful and I copies about 3 GB of data into the directory Data (set up only for the test) and the backup ran and completed successfully. I always do better with examples, and thought you could use one.
