Backing up more than one computer

Hi

 

Have Norton 360 and running on three computers - I want to be able to back up each of the computers to my NAS.

 

I have mapped the drive on each machine - but when I try and run a back up I only get the choice to back up locally or to the NAS...but once I've backed up from one machine - when I try this again from another the backups get confused as I don't see anyway of identifying the backups as different or use a different folder?

 

Any help / ideas appreciated

 

Thanks

Bernie

Welcome Bernie,

360 is good but it still has a few areas where improvements are being requested. I'm thinking that this is one of them.

It may be necessary to create spearate partitions on the NAS to hold each of the different system backups. This will also help should you need to do a recovery. :smileywink:

THope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion...that did it!

 

Sorry for late reply but didn't get email indicating reply...now been able to try this out and works...thank you.

You are most welcome. Always glad to hear back when a suggestion works. Don't worry about the delay :smileyvery-happy: The report back mose than compensates for that.

Stay well and surf safe

Dick - can you tell us how you would go into your NAS and do that partition - I have a problem that the backup says I am out of space but I still have 1.4gig of 2.0 gig - so how does one get into that cloud to do that - thanks
