Backup to a Network Drive

[ZenixNet]

I bought a WD Network Drive (that plugs into the router) but I cant get Windows Backup to recognize it. The program WD provided keeps crashing and will barley to crap.

Also, how do I get rid of all these useless folders?

The folders on the network drives or the listings in your computer? BTW Acronis Home has no trouble backing to network drive and can convert a win 7 backup to acronis format and acronis to win 7 (just in case)

As does Ghost.

@Zenix,
If you want to unmap those drives, you can right click on them then select 'disconnect'.
Or open a command prompt, (cmd.exe) and run net use
This will list all network shares/connections.
net use v: /d will delete the V: mapping.
use net use /h for the list of syntaxs that can be used.

Ken and Xarden are spot on. The only time it crashes is when you use the software?

Or is it problematic just accessing the drive?

I can access the drive just fine, I just need backup software because Western Digital crashes a lot. I want to use Windows Backup or Windows live Mesh but neither program recognizes the Wireless Drive.
