I installed REBIT several weeks ago. I want to include an external drive in the backup. I followed the instructions for adding a drive. The external drive appears in the list of drives and it remains checked, However, when I view the backeup files, I can only see the C and D drives.

The most likely reason for this is that the drive you are trying to backup is not formatted in NTFS. To find out, right-click Computer/My Computer and select Manage. From there, open up Disk Management in the options on the left. This will show you all the disks in the system. If it is indeed not NTFS, you can convert it to NTFS according to Microsoft's instructions found by through a search engine.

THX. I didn't realize that Rebit would have a preference. I completed the file conversion to NTFS and will see what happens with the backup.

I have Save me Express installed on my desktop, providing real time backup to my satellite HD. I have recently procured a laptop, which is networked with and shares much of the same data and programs as my desktop.
My on line browsing has led me to hope that either my existing software, or software designed for a networked installation, can allow me to backup to the same satellite HD from both computers, on a real time basis, while in a network configuration.
Thank you for any information that can assist me to achieve this objective.
Regards,
E.A.

If your device is a NAS (Network Attached Storage) then you will be able to use NetSmart to backup both computers to this device in real time. If this is not a NAS device, then I will need further information regarding your configuration.
