XPs backup via LAN?

Im backing up using the XP provided "Backu"p located in the Accessories
directory.

I have a 2nd computer on a home LAN and have mapped its harddrive to my
primary computer and also set the 2nd comptuer mapped drive to "share" at
the root or "C:" level.

When I back up using the XP utility, it selects all the folders in the
mapped drive, but, for example, it does not include any of the files in the
"programs directory". The Program directory is empty.

What do I need to do for to be able to back up all files with the XP
utility. (I understand I cant get an image over LAN but just want the most
comprehensive backup I can get short of that).

Should I use some other software then is provided with XP? I have Ghost but
it doest to LAN backup.

thanks for any tips

PLZ don't crosspost this way. You're getting help in
comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage.

For pendantic accuracy: this wasn't a "crosspost" but a "multipost".

pendantic must be the same as anal retentive.

Sure, if you insist.
