Backups

[TEEB]

I need some advice please. I had Windows Home Server set up but had to remove it because one of my computers is now wireless. I tried using Windows Back Up and Restore. But it won't complete because it still thinks that the WHS is still hooked up.
I have two computers that I want to keep backed up and I have two external HDD's. Both Computers are running Windows 7 Home Premium

I want to be able to "set it and forget it"

I would appreciate hearing what you use or what you would recommend to resolve this issue.

Thank You!!!

Which pc is this?
THe one that had WHS or the other one?
On the "other" one, did you UNinstall the WHS software?

[TEEB]

They were both hooked up to WHS. I had uninstalled the software from this one,but, I had not uninstalled it from the "other" one.
But, I have now!!!

And did that help?

Ran a back up on both computers. One finished with the same results, the other is still running. I'll post the results when it's finished.
Is Nova backup 12.1 any good?

[TEEB]

Back up finished with no change,


Here is the error message:

Backup skipped backing up \\ROJOSERV\Music as it is not on local machine.
Backup skipped backing up \\ROJOSERV\Videos as it is not on local machine.

rojoserv is the WHS

Do you have any of those folders mapped as network drives? If so disconnect them. Do the network shares appear under Computer Management?

[TEEB]

The WHS is disconnected. There is nothing hooked up to the network anymore, just the two computers.
