True Image version 10 (build 4,942) workgroup connectivity to home networked laptop <-> desktop
Hi, I have had a quick look through the forum and can't actually see an obvious answer to anything similar, so sorry if this question has been answered before.
I have TI Home v10.0 installed on my desktop (Win XP SP3) at home. I recently purchased a laptop (Win 7) and have configured a desktop to laptop local home network (ethernet to ethernet via crossover cable) to setup a workgroup network. I have also mapped the laptop's harddrive an a Network drive on the desktop's My Computer. I can see both devices from each other across the workgroup network.
When I start up TI, it is only seeing the desktop's internal HDD and external HDD (where I backup to). But it doesn't display the laptop's HDD, which I assumed would be picked up via the Network Drives mapping.
Have I missed something configuration-wise or doesn't this version of TI support this type of remote/networked laptop backup? If the later, what product should I be looking at?
Thanks
Greg

Hi Mark
Thanks for the information. I knew there was a simple answer -- just pay for another one!
And then there is the question that I probably should upgrade ver 10 to Home 2010, more money!
However small price to pay for peace of mind.

Greg:
Don't be too quick to discard version 10. I still prefer it to the newer versions and still use it today. But hopefully TI 2010 will work well for you.
