Sharing Drives is excessive risk to WWW?
I have a home LAN. 4 PCs connected to WWW full time via firewalled cable modem. Each PC has XP SP2 and virus scan and its own firewall.
I want to back up all 4 PCs to one external HD that is run off of the main PC.. I would use the XP provided Backup utility.
To do this I need to set the drives in each PC to "Share".
Does this leave me more vulnerable to WWW mischief or not enough more to worry about.
thanks!

You could move the external usb drive to all the systems in your home, one at a time, then backup off their harddrives, and when your done, reconnect it back to the primary.

Ok, it was just a thought.
