Folder Sharing

I'm on an office network with 6 others and we are all
running w2k. I want to set up back up directories on one
central computer so that each person can back up from
their notebooks as needed. I want each person to only be
able to access their directory and not the other
employees. How do I go about doing this?

I understand how to setup shares but everyone on the
network has access to the files not just one person.

Thanks in advance.

A domain is probably your best bet here, but certainly not the only way.

I recommend:
Setup a main shared folder (Userdata) on the server. Create subfolders,
with perms for each domain user & any admins needed. Map H:\ to
\\server\share\%username% in domain user's account profile. Redirect MyDocs
to H:\.

If a domain is not an option, you can create IDENTICAL user accounts on the
"server", lock down individual user folders to just the user & admin. I
believe that would work, but you now have to change passwords in 2 places
(you do enforce strong password policies, yes?)

Good luck
