Backing up system drive on on workgroup

Thread needs solution

How do I backup the system drive (c:) on a computer in my workgroup? I have mapped the drive to the system containing Acronis Backup & Recovery, but I cannot find it as a volume listed in my backup plan "items to back up." Please advise, thank you.

You can back up system drive (in order to make a full system backup that can help to restore system after a full crash) you need to install Agent for Windows on that machine and backup its system disk. It can't be done is agent is installed on other machine. If you need only files, you need to use UNC path, mapped drives won't work.
