Smartware backup to network drive

Hi Folks,

I,ve put my  mybook duo onto my router so it now appears as a network drive - cool. However, smartware doesn’t recognise it as something it can backup to. Any ideas as to how I can get it to understand that it can use it as a backup location - I have smartware pro if that helps !

many thanks

John

Hello, this is not supported, in order for Smartware to recognize the My Book it must be connected directly to the PC.
