Copying Files/Folders to Network Drive

Thread needs solution

I am a beginner to Acronis. When I try to backup Files/Folders to a networked drive I get asked for Windows Credentials. This drive has been mapped in my Home Network and I can read and write to it. Not sure why it asks this and what I am supposed to enter. I checked My Credentials in WIndows-8 but the one that is in there is for an Exchange server which is only for an Outlook email account that has nothing to do with my Home Network. Any advice would be welcome.

PS. I assume that a Full Backup is not permitted to a networked drive, but Files/Folders are. Am I correct?

Kenam,

First acronis products don't like using mapped drives, you might get better results by using UNC naming or IP addressing from within True Image.

With your current situation, you can go into Windows Credential Manager under Windows Programs and Features and remove the existing credential, then remake the task in True Image and the credential youenter should then be accepted by both windows and True Image.

You can image partitions and disks via a network drive, it can be slightly slower depending on your network conditions.

Thanks Colin for your response. I went into Windows Credential Manager and Removed the existing credential and Aded a new one by entering the Network Address, User Name and Password. Now, when Acronis asks to Enter your Windows credentials it requests an Account Name and Password. What should be the Account Name? Is it the Network Address or the User Name. Either ase it doesn't seem to work. I tried disabling the firewall as well but that didn't help. Any clues? Thanks.
