    Hi all wonder if you can help

    i have a Vista home edition laptop which i run backups from....i store
    the backups onto an XP machine (service pack 2)

    the backup works fine and i can see the backup set and the zip files as
    they are created.

    problem is now i want to restore from them.....i get the error the
    backup set cannot be found at this location....even though i can
    navigate and see them.

    Anyone know of any issues here or work arounds ?

    thanks

    Hi Lemur

    Sorry but thats not quite what the problem is.....let me explain

    i run the backup from my vista laptop....and store the zip files onto
    the xp machine (so in essance im just using the xp machine as a drive,
    just a shared folder on the network.)

    the backups work, but the vista restore function (that is just fetching
    the ziped files from the shared folder that happens to be on an xp
    machine) fails....

    have i explained this correctly [​IMG] many thanks for your help in this.
    regards

    Wolfy
