how to put RnR backup where you want it?

[dcouzin]

With Rescue and Recovery 3.1 there are four options offered for backup location:
Local hard drive;
2nd hard drive;
USB hard drive;
Network.
I wish to locate the backups on a certain partition of my local hard drive, not C:\. It seems like an ordinary wish. Could there really be no way to do it?
If there is no direct way, can I make that partition function as a "network"? How is this done?
Thanks.

I fully agree, I also want to backup to another partition. But this seems not to be possible, which is why I am not using Rescue and Recovery for backups Perhaps Rescue and Recovery 4 has this capability?

Anthony S, perhaps RnR 4 can do it, but RnR4 doesn't work with my T42. I'm pursuing the "network" workaround. A folder in the desired partition can be assigned shared status. I haven't made RnR 3.1 accept this, yet.

RnR isn't good backup software -- too tangled in its own underwear -- in my opinion. I use SelfImage v.1.2 as a BartPE plugin for my real backups. But as Ken Fox suggested, RnR is valuable for an on-the-road restore, when you're carrying nothing but your Thinkpad. It is to make SelfImage's very fast,1.5 GB/min, uncompressed images even faster that I want to make my C:\ partition small by keeping the RnR backup out. It's nuts that RnR 3.1 lets you put the backup in various places but not where you want it on your own local hard drive.

R&R4 for Vista which I'm using, has the same storage options as R&R 3.1 I,m afraid.

I would assume but don't know for definite that the XP version wouild be the same.
