Can I share a folder in a Workstation and tell then to BackupPC that find in this PC some data and Backup to a dedicated server? Better explained: I have a Workstation PC (with Win32) with the IP address: 10.0.0.1. In this PC exists a folder shared and called backup. Using the network I can access to this folder as: snb://10.0.0.1/shared$. Then I have another server dedicated to Backups only. This server have another shared resource. Let me call this as bck. The IP address for this server is: 10.0.0.2. My question is: Can I use BackupPC to connect to 10.0.0.1 PC and then copy the data to 10.0.0.2 dedicated server? Understand my question? 

You can back up from a windows share, but you can't use one as the 
destination. The server where the data is stored must have a unix-like 
filesystem so hard links of duplicate files will work.
