- TITLE :Using Windows NT Backup to Backup Removable Media
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Windows NT Backup does not recognize removable media drives, such as
- Bernoulli or floptical drives, as usable backup drives.
-
- To work around this limitation, use the following procedure:
-
- 1. Use File Manager to share the removable media drive.
-
- 2. Connect to the shared network drive from File Manager, or from
- Command Prompt using the following command:
-
- net use x: \\<machinename>\<sharename>
-
- Windows NT Backup will now see the removable drive as a network drive
- and will be able to back it up.
-
- NOTE: The drive will not appear in Windows NTBackup unless there is a
- disk in the drive.
-
