ContributionsMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsRe: BESR 7: cannot backup to network attached external disk - error E7D1000A Makes no difference whatsoever... I obviously checked this out right at the start of the problem. So we now know that Ghost 12 (and 14?) cannot handle network connected drives so perhaps a move to an alternative product (like Acronis?) will be the answer as it has been an exceptionally long time trying to get an answer from Symantec. Regards Chris Re: BESR 7: cannot backup to network attached external disk - error E7D1000A It was an obvious thing to ensure that my IOMEGA external network drive WAS formatted as NTFS I did this a long time ago now ....but this makes no difference whatsoever, so my answer to your question is that the problem I have is NOT solved by this suggestion..... like others I am considering moving to another product as Ghost 12 (and 14?) obviously cannot handle network drives at all.. Regards Chris Re: BESR 7: cannot backup to network attached external disk - error E7D1000A Hi, This is EXACTLY the same errors that I am getting when trying to use Norton Ghost 12 to a network connected IOMEGA Home Network Drive 500Mb. EVERTHING works fine through Windows Explorer etc BUT NOT via the network when using Ghost. It is quite frustrating not to be able to solve this problem. I have checked the Iomega site without success but then saw your comment which mates my problem.... so maybe we can find a solution for both os us here? BTW I am using a Sony Viao Media Center PC with Windows Vista Home Premium o/s and a standard 100Mbps ethernet network. Any help would be most appreciated... Chris
