When trying to Backup (and/or Create a System image) onto my Network w/Windows 7 Professional, after entering my username and password, I get the following pop up message: "The specified network location cannot be used. Verify the path points to a correct network location and that the supplied credentials can be used for write access to the folder." Details further show " The specified service does not exist as an installed service (0x80070424)"
I have no problems dragging and dropping anything across my network or accessing any part w/Explorer. Originally I had no password set up at all, but set one up just to try and satisfy the Backup setup windows. I've also turned off all Firewall protection and Anti-virus software. Still no luck. Am on a Home network/Home group, not a Domain.
I've successfully done this in the past with no problems. I don't know what changed - obviously something did.
I've searched the web for answers, but so far have not found any - this is my first post specifically asking for help.
Is it even worth the trouble if I can create an image onto disks or an external hard drive directly connected via USB. Win7 Professional is supposed to Backup to the Network and that is what I would really like to do. Rem: PC - Personal Computer.
Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance.
