Question on Backup Devices

Thread needs solution

True Image was recommended to me, but I have a couple of questions prior to buying. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

1. Will this be able to backup to a network drive?

2. I have a drive on a USB connection to my PC. It can be accessed by other PCs on the network. Would another PC be able to backup to it?

Thanks

Thank you.

TonyMan - just a bit more info for you. I run Win7 x64 on of my systems that support x64 otherwise it is x32. My desktop has several harddrives (RAID 0 & RAID 5) that are shared out to other systems. All of my systems except my main laptop backup to the desktop (network drive at this point connected via wired LAN). My main laptop backs up to an external eSATA drive.

Create a bootable CD using the latest ISO image from the Acronis website.

Using the bootable CD I have restored my desktop SSD numerous times (for the desktop this is local access to the RAID 5 array), my wife's laptop (this is network access to the desktop RAID 5 array), my main laptop (this is the eSATA drive).
