Backup to external HDD on network

My PC OS is Windows 10 v17763. The OS is installed on a SSD drive. D, E and F SATA drives are also on the computer. The PC is connected by Ethernet to a Netgear Nighthawk R7800 router by ethernet. A 4Tb external HDD is connected to the Netgear router by USB. This drive is mapped to the network in windows 10.

When I try to use Windows 10 to mirror image onto the external HDD on the network, Windows 10 sees the drive and begins the backup but fails shortly after starting.

Any help to do a backup to the network HDD would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for the anticipated reply.

Happy New Year!!

 

backup on external hdd on router

i have an external hdd on my router and i want to make a system image backup there, but i can't find it when i have to choose a network location. what should i do?

 

Help needed with simple wired network

Step one- Connect all PC's to router, and then the router to the modem. PC's go to router by the ports labeled "1-4" on the back of the router. WAN port goes to router. Power up all network equipment, and then systems.
Step two- Power on the computer connected to port one. Go into router settings at 192.168.0.1 and configure internet, dyndns, firewall, etc.
Step three- Go to "network set up wizard" in windows. (Network places- network set up wizard). The rest is self explanatory.
Step four- right click on each drive and printer you want to share, and then configure sharing preferences. Should be easy enough.
Step five- right click my computer, and the select "map network drive". Using the network address for each piece of hardware you shared, assign network drive letters.

Congratulations, you have a fully operational network. Happy Gaming! *Toast :toast:
