Table 5-1
Selecting a backup destination (continued)
Information to consider Backup destination
If your computer is connected to a network, you can save
your recovery points and file and folder backup data to a
network folder.
Backing up to a network folder typically requires that you
authenticate to the computer that is hosting the folder. If
the computer is part of a network domain, you must provide
the domain name, user name, and password. For example,
domain\username.
If you are connecting to a computer in a workgroup, you
should provide the remote computer name and user name.
For example: remote_computer_name\username.
Network folder
When you save backup data to removable media, it is
automatically split into the correct sizes if the backup spans
more than one media.
If more than one drive is being backed up, the recovery
points for each drive are stored independently on the media,
even if there is space to store recovery points from multiple
drives on the same media.
The scheduling of backups is not available when this option
is used.
Note:
Using CD-RWs or DVD-RWs as your recovery point
storage location is not the best option because you will be
required to swap disks during the process.
CD-RW/DVD-RW
Table 5-2 describes the advantages and disadvantages of different types of backup
destinations.
