Can't backup a mapped drive?? [Solved]

Can't backup a mapped drive??

I bought an external USB drive specifically because my company's network-based backup is failing, and I need to backup the critical data that I store on a network (mapped) drive.
I have Windows 7 Professional -- can I not accomplish this with Windows Backup?

Hi,
 
 
You will not be able to take the backup of the network (mapped) drive.
You would not have the option to select the drive when you are trying to back up the data as that drive itself is a backup drive on the network.
 
As a workaround you may take the backup of the data from the network drive onto the local drive and then put it on your external USB drive using backup and restore feature.
 
Hope this information is helpful.
