WIFI

Thread needs solution

Got a dell laptop here no NIC, WIFI only.

Is it somehow possible to transfer over wifi to an SMB?

Viper111, welcome to these User Forums.

It depends on what you mean by an SMB?  If this is a remote drive or a mapped drive letter or accessible as a network share etc, then yes, you can backup to that destination.

The real issue here is not in backing up to the destination, but the lack of wireless support in the Acronis bootable Rescue Media for doing recovery in a failed drive situation or bare-metal recovery.

You should be able to get hold of a USB to RJ45 Ethernet NIC adapter to use for such situations if you backups are held on a network resource.
