Sandeep... thanks for your reply.

I forgot to mention, that when I had the "current logon account" to "local system", if I press the "backup now" button, the backup to the network drive folder completes successfully. It's only when part of the scheduled backup does this backup to the network drive folder fails.

I guess I can have the doc do the "backup now" button every so often. I guess I can also create a batch file to copy the backup folder to the network drive folder, and put this in Windows Task Scheduler (your comment to sync both computers gave me this idea).

But, when you say to "put the name of the other computer", do you mean the actual computer name found in Control Panel>System, or the name in the User Account. I've put the name in the User Account. I'll try using the actual computer name.

So, does this all mean that unless the computers are part of a domain, the scheduled backup to network drive folders cannot be done?

Thanks again...
