Basic questions: backing up Windows PCs to ReadyNAS Duo
Having a home network of 4 or 5 PCs running Windows (mostly 7 Home Premium but one Vista Pro) I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a proper backup system. Installed the ReadyNAS Duo with 2x...
Ah, OK. That sounds like a plan. Won't work with W7's builitin bkup, though, because I've "only" bought Home Premium and therefore, in the eyes of Microsoft, don't deserve to be allowed to backup across a network. The following is taken from the dialogue in the W7backup program: "You can only save your backups on a network location on Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, and Windows 7 Enterprise. "
And they wonder why the world hates them.
I must admit I'm increasingly tempted to stick Ubuntu on all my systems, but I don't think I could stand the application compatibility issues.
Any recommendations for non-Microsoft backup utilities that can run under Windows7 and Vista? I will google some, of course, but if anyone has experience using some with a ReadyNAS share that would be helpful. If there's a way of defeating this limitation in W7's backup that would be helpful, too.
Cheers,
Martin.
