Backup to Network

[Guest]

I would like to use the Vista backup facility to do a computer backup rather
than using Acronis TrueImage which I used in XP. Unfortunately this facility
does not offer the use of a network location or drive for the full computer
backup option. Why is this?

I just started using Acronis TrueImage and find it so much better than the
built-in Vista backup utility...

Take a look at wbadmin.exe, which is the command-line version of Complete PC
Backup. This will allow you to back up to a target network share.
