Good evening everyone,
I would like to install some sort of backup solution for my home network.
Here is my network: (1) Windows 7 desktop, (1) Windows 7 laptop, (1) Windows Vista laptop and (1) Windows XP desktop connected through a combination of wireless and hard-wired to a Linksys Cisco wireless router.
The XP computer happens to be housed in a fairly large computer tower with numerous slots for extra hard drives and a nice large 400watt power supply. I have a few spare hard drives laying around from 160GB-300GB. Can I install one or two of these spare hard drives into the XP machine and make them "public/network" hard drives that the other computers will have access to in order to backup data from the other machines?
Thanks.
