Setting up Windows Vista for 0 Backup

Configuring Windows Vista to receive the backup from 0 Backup is an easy task. The exact steps may depend on your configuration and the specific edition of Windows Vista that your are using, but the following steps will help you.

1.-Find the IP address of your computer

You will need the IP address of your computer to configure 0 Backup. There are many ways to gather such information. For example, open a command line by clicking on Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Command prompt:

Then, type ipconfig and write down the shown IP address (in our example, 192.168.0.65):

2.-Create a folder and share it to the network

Right-click on the place where you want to store the backup (for example, MyDocuments or even the Desktop itself; it must be in a directory under your control), select New --> Folder and give it a name (for example phone backup):

If you have never shared anything, filesharing must be enabled. Click on Start --> All programs --> Network:

Select Network and Sharing Center and enable File Sharing. Password protected sharing should also be enabled, if it is not. This may ask you for permission and even request your password.

You still need to explicitly share the folder. Right-click on the new folder and select Share and again Share. The system may ask you for permission to do it and your folder will be finally shared. Use the following screenshots as guide:
