Network (Ethernet Router) External Hard Drive Destinations...

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I've been using Acronis True Image 2011 and have had an absolute epic failure EVERY time I try to backup, especially scheduled and unattended, to my Seagate GoFlex Home External Hard Drive....
The Seagate GoFlex Home is a 'cloud/network' External Desktop Hard Drive I've connected via Ethernet to my D-Link DIR-655 router...

Question: was there a known issue with 2011 version doing scheduled network backups?
More importantly, does the latest version actually work flawlessly w my above described setup?

thanks,
jd

When using ATI with a network drive, use a UNC path to your NAS device for a backup destination, not a typical friendly "mapped" drive.
e.g.
\\192.168.2.25\My Backups\

I believe it may also be possible to use a UNC path that includes server name rather than IP, such as
\\server1\My Backups\
