How to Backup to a Remote Computer

1. Click the Windows 'Start' button. Click 'Control Panel,' then click 'System and Security.' In this screen, click 'Backup.' On the left side of the window, click 'Create an image backup.' This starts the backup wizard.
2. Click the 'Add Network Location' button. This opens a window where you configure the settings for the remote computer. Enter the remote computer location in the text box. If you are unsure of the location share name, click the 'Browse' button. Double-click the computer used to host the backup files and then double-click the folder where the files are saved. Enter your user name and password and click 'OK.' Click 'Next' in the main wizard window.
3. Select 'Let me choose' in the next window. This brings you to a list of directories and system files. Check the boxes next to each directory and system file you want to back up. Click the 'Next' button.
