Backup to network drive (Time Capsule)

Hi,

I'm trying to create an initial backup with Acronis 11.
It can't see my netowk drive "Z" (Apple Time Capsule) that i'm trying to backup to. I can see th drive under "Compter" in windows and Norton 360 could back up to it also, but I want to try Acronis.

I'm using Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1


Update: I got it working by putting the drive pah \\Eric-Time-Capsule in the location option in Acronis. So far so good.

Update: FAILED! Here is the message I got:
E00070004
Failed to write data to archive file.
A possible reason might be poor media quality.

I could see it writing to the backup file. Around 5 gigs were backed up and then that error message popped up and I check the drive and the backup file is gone also.
Any ideas?






thanks

 

I've wasted too much time with this. It's not working. I don't know if it's Vista's fault or Acronis. I think it's Vista because even Vista Ultimate's built in backup program won't back up to the drive.

I already have Norton 360 and it's backing up flawlessly.
I'm running a Vista Ultimate Laptop backing up to the new Apple Time Capsule.

I'll stick with Norton 360 for now until something better comes along.

 

Did you try splitting the image into 3-4GB splits? Maybe the smaller files would work.

I am curious if Acronis has worked on this issue. Vista's built in backup program has been limited with a "security feature":

"In my tests, the built-in backup program in Windows XP Pro worked fine with Time Capsule. But the built-in backup program in Vista failed. Microsoft said the problem I encountered was due to a new Vista security feature for backups that foils some remote hard disks, not just Apple's." - Walt Mossberg

I have confirmed what Walt said in the article that I am quoting. It would be nice to know the specifics of this limitation, and what backup software can get around it.
