Doesn't seem to work, my share is fine as i can access it from other computers...tried a windows XP machine and the Backup works.

Anyone done Network Folder backups to a Vista machine...?
 
First, turn on sharing. Click Start (that Windows icon thingy) then Network. Click Network and Sharing Center. Turn Network discovery and File sharing on. Leave the rest off.

Now click Start > Computer and browse to the folder you'd like to share. Right-click it and click Share. You'll get a dialog box asking who you want to share with. Type "Everyone" and click Add. Next to the new entry for Everyone, leave it set to "Reader" if you just want to give read-only access over the network, or change it to "Co-owner" if you want to give full access.



I found the by googling "hot to setup a shared network folder in vista".

Let us know if this works..
