UAC on Vista Prevents Auto Backup to Network Drive RRS feed

    Am I doing something wrong?

    I have an XP and Vista computer on my LAN that are set to backup to a Network share. When the backup starts to run on the Vista machine, UAC prompts for an OK to continue. I want to keep UAC running, is there a way to avoid the prompt and get the Vista machine backed up automatically? Right now, I manually start a backup whenever OneCare tells me it needs to run, so I can click OK at the prompt.

    I don't know that you're doing anything wrong. I assume that your User ID that you are logged into Vista with might be a standard User and not an Administrator, hence the reason for the prompt to proceed to access the Network Share.
    Where is the Share located? Is it on a NAS or on another PC?

    You may want to contact support for help with this if you are unable to backup automatically and you've confirmed that permissions are set correctly. As far as I know, the automatic backup should happen without prompting under a limited user as long as the destination permissions are set correctly for all users to have dull rights.
