I am not a computer guru. So bear with me. I connected an SSK external drive to my network by connecting to the wireless router. I can see the External Drive in Windows, access the files, etc. I mapped the External Drive to Disk "Z". When I try to do an Acronis backup however, it says "Connection Failed" every time, even though I added the correct credentials. What should I do. Not too computer savvy so the explanation would be appreciated in plain terms. Thanks. Michael

Michael, sorry but too little information here?

What is an SSK external drive?  Do you mean an SSD (solid-state drive)?

Have you tested connecting this drive directly to your computer instead of to the router?

What version / build of ATI are you using here?  This is shown on the Account page in the main ATI GUI.
