For Remote Backup of Windows 7 and Vista, remote access must be enabled by UAC. On the remote Windows 7/Vista-Computer, define DWORD Registry value LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, set it to value 1, then reboot. Alternatively, enable the real built-in Administrator account and use it for the remote access. Another option is to turn off User Access Control (UAC).
For full backup, select System State and the Administrative shares C$, D$ etc. for backup, which backup the entire drives. Do not backup other system defined shares.
Best policy is to run Stratesave from an account which also has Administrator access on the remote computers (same username/password). This avoids Stratesave retrying with provided credentials, which does not always work. Remote ESE98 and sometimes SQL server and Remote System State are not visible if account names/passwords do not match.
To backup Windows computer remotely, security settings must allow access from the backup Server. This should be Administrator access for full backups and remote registry access. Also, networked full backup including Registry and COM+ databases need the Remote Registry Service running. This service is running per default.
