Last published : Apr 02, 2026
Before you can back up drives on a remote computer, you must first add the computer to the Computer List. You can then quickly switch between your local computer and any other computer on the list.
To add remote computers to the Computer List
  1. On the Computers menu, click Add.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Type the name of the computer
    • Type the IP address of the computer
If you are in a workgroup environment instead of a domain you must manually specify the computer name for the computer you want to manage. You can do so by browsing to it using the Browse option.
  • Click Browse to search for the name or IP address of the computer
  1. Click OK to add the computer to the Computer List.
