2. Right-click the folder and select Properties.

3. Select the Sharing, and then Share.

   

4. Add the specific user you want DCE to use to store the backup.

   

5. Set the user's permission level to be Read/Write.

   

6. Click Share.

7. Select Advanced Sharing. 

8. Make sure the Share this folder checkbox is checked, and then select Permissions.

9. Add the specific user that you want DCE to use to connect to this share (same user as step 5).

10. Set the user permissions for Full Control.  Click Apply and OK.
    NOTE: You will need the share name, IP address of the Windows system the share is stored on, and the credentials for the user you granted full control.
