[QUOTE="lschwarcz, post: 1314182, member: 216926"] I have a Windows 7 desktop system with an attached external drive and my MacBook Pro (Lion). I'd like to backup my MBP using Time Machine to the external drive on my Win 7 system. The two systems have been networked together and I'm able to manually copy files to and from this external drive from the MBP. The issue is that when I try to setup Time Machine I don't see any way to select this external drive as my backup target. I'm only given the option of opening up the AirPort Utility that will scan for AirPort devices. Can I backup to this attached networked drive? If so, any hints how to set it up? Thanks in advance! Larry. [/QUOTE]
