Cannot turn backup on

General discussion
-
My external back up disc drive was full and as this happens so frequently I turned backup off and bought a new bigger disc drive
I then configured backup for the new disc, but I cannot find any way to start backup
althouigh it is shown as configured, the main screen still says backup is swicthed off.
Incidently , whenever I do anything with backup, my A: drive gets accessed, wasting time and buzzing annoying ly
thisis a bug which should be fixed

I get an error message saying that Onecare cannot find the back up device because of unkown errors
Maybe because it is trying to access the a: drive

Ray, give the following a try:
Open OneCare
Click Change Settings
backup tab
Click Configure Backup
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, configure backup 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.
