Backup To Another Computer's External Hard Drive

Thread needs solution

With ATIH 2010, occasionally I could back up on the network to another computer's external hard drive, but far from always. ATIH 2012 does allow back up to a NAS device. However, I am testing whether 2012 will back up to another computer's external drive, and the answer seems to be that it will not. Is this the case or is there a way to back up to another computer's external drive on the network?

Thanks.

I do this on a regular basis. I have several drive letters mapped on my main system to both internal and external drives on other systems on my small home network. I tell ATIH 2012 to backup to these drives and I don't have any problems.
Could you tell us about how you have your network set up, as well as what procedures you have tried that don't work for you, including what operating systems you are using, network sharing settings, etc.?
