    One care recognized my hard drive (external) however, when the window for back-up appears, it STILL wants to back up to CD (where the first back-up with one-care was completed). It will not give me an OPTION...to backup to external hard drive.

    Open One Care, select "Configure Backup", select Change Settings, under "Your backup plan" select "Change Location", find your external drive on the list of detected backup devices and select it.

    You may need to first disable backup and then re-enable it.

    Open OneCare

    Click Change Settings

    backup tab

    Click change settings in the lower left

    Make sure that the first screen for Centralized Backup has "No Centralized backup" selected

    Click your PC on the left.

    Uncheck the selection for "Turn on backup for this PC."

    Click Next and save the revised plan.

     

    Go back to the backup tab and click Change Settings in the lower left once again.

    Select your PC and click.

    Click Turn on backup

    Select the change location link and select the drive you want to use for backup

    Modify the schedule as desired for "When"

    Select the file types as desired for "What"

    Click next and save the revised plan with the new selection.
