I have set up a username and password to access the hard drive of the N900. I can access it through windows explorer, but I cannot back up to it…it is found and accessed everywhere but the backup utility in windows 7
If you have Windows 7 Premium, it wont work on a network storage, only on the professional and ultimate versions. You can also use Smartware to backup your files.
Yes I realize this now, however, there SURE WAS NOT any indication in BUYING this otherwise great all-in-one that it would only work with Win 7 Pro or Ultimate.
I believe in straight up advertising, and this should have been a blatant compatibility disclaimer. Because it was not there I perceived otherwise.

Are you blaming WD? What exactly are you quoting when you say

The drive does allow backup with any operating system, its the backup to network drive thats not included in windows 7 Premium. The WD smartware program can still be used to backup your files.
