    Windows Backup Asking for Sign in When sending backup to another pc


    I'm looking to backup my laptop to an external hard drive on my Desktop PC. I've connected the drive as a shared drive and are able to move files between devices but when it comes to backups, it keeps asking me for a login to authenticate before backing up and I'm not sure what log in to use.

    :)

    Using network hard drive for backup

    It depends what sort of backup you want to do. If you're happy just backing up regular files, then there are a bazillion (really, that many!) different bits of freeware to do that. There is a good list here:

    Download Back Up Tools for Windows - MajorGeeks

    and pretty much all of them can do network backups. Some even have fancy options like encryption. Really, the most useful thing is just being able to schedule them and know they ran OK.

    You may also want to make a system image backup too, and you'll find that software in the very same list.

    I don't have Windows 8 as yet, so I'm afraid I can't suggest any for that platform. Personally, I use Clonezilla for image backups.

    Hi Randal,

    To help us identify the appropriate troubleshooting steps to resolve your concern, we'd like to ask a few questions:

    • What tool did you use in performing the backup?
    • Did you get any error messages while performing the backup? If yes, kindly send us a screenshot.

    We'll be waiting for your response.

    Don't have any function for backup

    Hi Iris,

    Let's work together on this. We suggest that you follow the following steps to apply the backup to your Windows Phone:

    • Sign into the same Microsoft Account used for the backup creation.
    • When prompted to use a backup to restore the handset, select the desired backup and hit ‘next’ to continue with the process.
    • The backup will then download (duration will vary depending on speed of connection and size of backup), you can then enter passwords for restored accounts there and then or configure restored email and social accounts later.

    Let us know the results.

    Regards.
